Monday is the deadline for voter registration in May primary

If you're planning to vote in next month's primary elections and still need to register, change party affiliation, or change your registered address, you're running out of time.

This Monday, April 18 is the deadline to register to vote in the May 17 primary, which features contests for six Spring-Ford Area School district board seats, a Limerick Supervisor seat, three Royersford Borough Council seats, three Spring City council seats, among a number of county-wide posts in both Montgomery and Chester counties.

Primary elections in Pennsylvania are “closed,” meaning only voters registered in one of the two major parties can cast their ballot for candidates. Voters registered as Independent can only vote on ballot questions or in the case of a special election held in conjunction with the primary.

Voters who need to register or modify their registration can visit the Voter Services office in Norristown until 4:15pm on Monday.
