Your 2024 Guide To Voting On Election Day

Election Day is right around the corner, folks!

Pennsylvania registered voters will head to the polls on Tuesday, November 5, to cast their ballots for local, state, and national races that will decide the country’s future.

Whether this is your first time voting or you’re a voting expert, here is everything you need to know before getting your “I voted” sticker.

When To Vote

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. The busiest times at the polls are usually in the morning and the evening. It’s recommended to vote when it’s less busy to avoid longer lines. If you are in line to vote before or at 8 p.m., stay in line! Poll workers must allow you to fill out your ballot. The law is the law.

Where To Vote

Students living on campus who are registered to vote in Centre County are most likely to vote at the HUB. If you live at White Course Appartments, you vote at the Weston Community Center. To double-check where you are voting, click here.

Polling places differ by location for students who live off-campus. For an accurate polling location, visit the Pennsylvania Department of State website.

If you requested a mail-in ballot and filled it out, the county election office must receive your ballot before 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Acceptable forms of non-photo ID include a current utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck as long as it lists your address.
