Levittown Voter Guide 2023: Who's On Ballot, Where To Vote

LEVITTOWN, PA —The primary election is Tuesday, May 16, and residents of Levittown will soon be able to cast their votes for state, county, judicial, local, and school board races.

The election technically has already begun, as mail-in votes have started to return to Lower Bucks County.

For the primary election, residents vote for their registered party ticket for contested and uncontested races.

Many of the races in the primary election are uncontested, meaning that whoever wins the election then goes on to represent their respective party in the November general election.

Some contested races —for judicial and school board —have cross-filings, meaning that candidates file as Democrats and Republicans with the top vote-getters going on the ballot in November.

Who is on the ballot?
