Al Schmidt: “We urge voters to rely on trusted, official sources of election information, such as their county election office…”

I take seriously the obligations under both federal and Pennsylvania law to ensure that only eligible voters have access to the ballot box and to see to it that Pennsylvania’s voter rolls are appropriately maintained and updated.

I’m confident that eligible voters in Pa. can and should approach this election like they always do, which means voting by whichever method works best for them.

Voting by mail is a convenient, safe and secure option for eligible Pennsylvanians.

If voters want to check their registration ahead of the Oct. 19 deadline, they should visit vote.pa.gov.
