2026 General Election Briefing: What to Know Before November 3

Join the Committee of Seventy (C70) for a free, nonpartisan briefing ahead of Pennsylvania’s November 3 general election. With Election Day just over a week away, this session will help voters better understand what’s on their ballots, the races to watch, and what to expect when casting their votes.

C70’s Vice President of Policy, Andrew McGinley, and Senior Program Director, Tanisha Bezue, will cover:

  • What’s on the Ballot: Key offices, candidates, and ballot questions voters may encounter this November.
  • Races to Watch: An overview of notable contests across Pennsylvania and their potential implications.
  • Preparing to Vote: Important deadlines, voting options, and what voters should know before Election Day.
  • Election Administration: How votes are counted, when results are reported, and what to expect on Election Night.
  • Nonpartisan Voter Resources: Tools and information to help voters make informed decisions and share reliable election information with others.

We’ll also leave time for audience Q&A.

This virtual briefing is free and open to C70 members and the general public. Whether you’re preparing to vote or helping others navigate the election, we hope you’ll join us.
