As Election Day nears, Philadelphia City Commissioners have opened additional Satellite Election Offices (SEO) across the city in an effort to make voting more accessible to all Philadelphians.
SEOs provide essential election services, ensuring that all Philadelphia voters have access to tools and information needed to register and cast their vote. Philadelphians can walk into any SEO and register to vote; update their registration; apply for a mail-in or absentee ballot; and complete and return their ballot. Voters can also go to the sites to obtain replacement ballots, declaration envelopes, secrecy envelopes and emergency absentee ballots.
“This Satellite Election Office represents our ongoing mission to provide every Philadelphian with the tools and resources they need to vote, regardless of where they live or the challenges they face,” said Chairman Commissioner Omar Sabir. “This is about ensuring that all voices can be heard in our democracy.”
Satellite Election Offices will be open 7 days a week, providing voter services to all residents. Locations include:
• 1400 John F Kennedy Blvd., Room 140; 215-686-3469
• 1835 S. Broad Street; 215-686-7801
• 4029 Market Street; 215-686-7803
• 5610 Lancaster Ave., Unit 400; 215-686-7804
• 2301 N. Broad Street; 215-686-7805
• 2739 N. 5th Street; 215-686-7807
• 5301 Chew Ave.; 215-686-7808
• 1619-1681 Grant Ave., Suite 15 and 16; 215-686-8683
Philadelphia residents can also review sample ballots online that show exactly who and what will be on the ballot in the Nov. 5 election. The documents are available for download by inputting an address at atlas.phila.gov/voting.
Oct. 21 is the final day to register to vote in the general election. Pennsylvania residents can register online at pavoterservices.pa.gov. The deadline to request a mail-in ballot is Oct. 29, and voters can go to pavoterservices.pa.gov or visit one of the election offices.
“Regardless of the method they choose to vote or who they choose to support, voters should recognize that there is more than just the U.S. President that they can vote for. There are many other offices on the ballot this year, and the outcome of those races will have as much or greater impact on them, their families, and neighbors’ everyday life,” said City Commissioner Lisa Deeley. “I encourage all citizens to vote, and vote in every office up and down the ballot.”
