Upper Providence, the Primary Election is Tuesday, May 20! 🗳️
Here's everything you need to know.
Upper Providence Democrats, VOTE for our Endorsed 2025 Primary Candidates!
The Municipal Primary Election is Tuesday, May 20. Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM.
Voter turnout is typically very low in Municipal Primaries, meaning JUST A HANDFUL OF VOTES COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE between having our Democratic candidates for Magisterial District Judge and School Director on the November ballot or having them pushed off the ballot by Republican candidates who have cross-filed. Please, make a plan to vote and remind your friends and neighbors to vote, too!
If you're voting by mail and haven't returned your ballot yet, it's too late to mail it. Please place your completed ballot in a Delaware County Drop Box before 8 PM on election day.
