Find voting locations at Pennsylvania Voter Services
Can I vote early?
Yes, Pennsylvania does offer in-person mail-in voting. You can choose whether to vote on Election Day or during the in-person mail ballot voting period, whichever is easier for you. This can be especially helpful if it would be difficult or not possible for you to vote on Election Day.

Eviction Diversion Program extended to 2024
The Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) is a free City service for residential tenants and landlords. The Program is an opportunity to work out an early resolution to prevent the costs and burden of a legal eviction. Applications are now open to landlords through https://eviction-diversion.phila.gov/#/
Applications are assigned appropriate pathways depending on the amount of back rent and fees that the landlord says is owed and additional factors. A tenant may be assigned a housing counselor, mediation session or additional resources like a webinar. Tenants and landlords are encouraged to immediately try to work out agreements.
