Voting Information

To the Community,

A reminder about the upcoming election on November 2.

This year’s ballot is a particularly long one, taking up a double-sided sheet of paper with 16 different races, plus a second single-sided sheet with 9 Yes/No questions about whether judges should be retained for another term. We wanted to give you advance notice that filling them out may take a while, and lines may form at the polling places on Election Day.

An alternative option is to vote in advance, either by going to the Voter Service Center in the Government Center Building, 201 W. Front St. in Media (open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. until noon through Election Day), or by requesting a mail-in ballot which you can mail back or deposit at the drop-box outside the Swarthmore Public Library. You can apply for a mail-in ballot, either online or by printing out a form to mail in.

Applications for mail-in ballots must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 26, and the completed ballots must be received by the county (via mail or drop-box) by 8 p.m. on Election Day. 

We hope you realize the importance of exercising your right to vote, and helping decide who your local, state, and (in other years’ elections) national officials will be. Thank you.

Jim Moskowitz, Susan Smythe, and Jayatri Das, Judges of Election for Swarthmore’s Eastern, Western, and Northern precincts
