Primary
Elections
The purpose of
the primary election is to nominate candidates who will be on the ballot
in the general or municipal election.
Pennsylvania
has a closed primary, meaning that voters declare their party
affiliation and vote only for candidates of that party.
Voters not
registered for a party may vote on ballot questions, for government
study commission candidates, or in special elections if they are on a
primary ballot.
Ballot
questions may include proposed constitutional amendments or other
measures to be decided by popular vote.
Special
elections are held when a vacancy occurs in a local, state, or federal
office.
General

elections are held in even-numbered years and municipal elections are
