(Harrisburg, PA) As the primary election fast approaches, there’s a push for more voter education in the Keystone State. More than 8 million registered voters have the opportunity to cast ballots in the May 19th election. Amy Widestrom with the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania says the voter registration deadline has passed. Whether or not you’ve taken that step, she reminds voters that Pennsylvania holds closed primaries, meaning only those registered as Democrats or Republicans are eligible to vote. Widestrom points out that this is an issue the League has been working on for a long time, by trying to convince policymakers to open up the primaries.
