Election Day in the Valley: Where and When to Vote |
Official polling-place resources for Tuesday, November 3, plus local location changes and county contacts |

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
Across Pennsylvania, polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and voters in line by 8 p.m. may vote.
Here are official resources to help A-K Valley residents find their assigned polling place, check local updates, and reach their county election office.
Start here: find your assigned polling place
Use Pennsylvania’s official polling-place lookup and enter your home address.
A municipality can have several precincts, so check your individual assignment before leaving home, even if you have voted in the same building for years.
Use your municipality and street address rather than relying on a ZIP code or postal city alone.
You can also check your voter registration record, which identifies your polling place.

Two local polling-place changes to check
Westmoreland County’s official location-change notice identifies these changes affecting local precincts:
Lower Burrell 3-1: voters now use Trinity United Christian Church, 232 Hillcrest Drive, instead of Lower Burrell Manor.
New Kensington 4-2: voters now use the auxiliary gym at Valley Jr-Sr High School, 703 Stevenson Boulevard, instead of the former AK Valley Park location on Freeport Road.
These changes apply to those specific precincts; other residents should follow their own assigned polling-place information.
What to bring
If this is your first time voting at your polling place, bring an approved form of identification.
Pennsylvania accepts certain photo and non-photo IDs, including a current utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address.
Returning voters who have already voted at that polling place generally do not need to show identification.
Still holding a mail ballot?
Completed civilian mail-in and absentee ballots must reach the county election office by 8 p.m. November 3; a postmark does not meet that deadline.
Check your county’s official instructions for authorized in-person return locations.
Completed mail ballots cannot be submitted for counting at a polling place.
If you requested a mail ballot but want to vote at the polls, bring the ballot and outer return envelope to surrender to poll workers.
If the ballot never arrived or you no longer have it, ask about voting by provisional ballot.
Need help at the polls?
Ask a poll worker about accessible voting equipment, voting assistance, or a provisional ballot if there is a question about your registration.
