Voting In North Hills: Everything You Need To Know

ROSS TOWNSHIP AND WEST VIEW, PA - Tuesday's election features potentially the most hotly contested presidential race ever coinciding with local races.

The race that will drive most people to the polls is the presidential one, with Republican incumbent Donald Trump squaring off against Democratic presidential nominee and former vice president Joe Biden. But in the greater Pittsburgh area, U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle is facing a challenge from Republican Luke Negron.

In state races, incumbent Democratic Attorney General Josh Shapiro is being challenged by Republican Heather Heidelbaugh, a Pittsburgh attorney. For auditor general, Democrat Nina Ahmad faces Republican Timothy DeFoor. For state treasurer, Democrat Joe Torsella will face Republican Stacy Garrity.

With few exceptions, Allegheny County will return to the same polling places that were used for the November 2019 election. A few precincts have been identified as ones in which an election cannot or should not be held such as a senior living facility, while others have construction going on that will prohibit use.
