PHILLY VOTES

(via Billy Penn)

Mail ballot drop boxes are open for the 2022 primary in Philadelphia.

The May 17 election features contested races for U.S. Senate, Pennsylvania governor, many seats in the Pa. Legislature, and a special election to replace a convicted council-member.  There are also several questions about changes to the city charter. 

This marks the third year with no-excuse mail voting in Pennsylvania. Haven’t applied for yours yet? May 10 is the deadline to do it online.

The first charter change question for Philadelphians on the May 2022 ballot is probably the most controversial.  It centers on the Zoning Board of Adjustments, which makes decisions about which proposed developments get built across the city.  If approved, the measure would give City Council a greater say in who makes up this board, among other changes.
