Philadelphia Primary Voter Guide
Your first stop is C70's Interactive Voter Guide.
Pennsylvanians will head to the polls on May 16, 2023 to select party nominees for various municipal and county-level offices, plus statewide and municipal judges.
Voters in Southeastern PA (Philly, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties) can use C70's Interactive Voter Guide, at ballot.seventy.org, to see what your actual ballot will look like. It contains full bios of candidates, campaign links, and their responses to C70's candidate questionnaire. The Voter Guide is made possible through our partnership with BallotReady.
For Philadelphia-specific races, we also have a static voter guide on our site. You can access that below.
