Where to Vote in Tredyffrin and Easttown

Tuesday is primary election day, which means it’s time for Tredyffrin and Easttown residents to perform their civic duty. This is an off-year election, with no major national campaigns to drive voters to the polls.

Turnout is historically low for off-year elections, meaning a vote can have an even bigger impact on close races. Last November saw the lowest voter turnout in Pennsylvania since 1998, according to publicsource.org, and that was with the governor’s office on the line.

Only 41.8 percent of Pennsylvanians cast a vote in the governor’s race, which is lower than every election since 1998, based on 99.25 percent of precincts reported. Turnout in 1998 was 41.7 percent.

When to Vote
