Voter registration deadline nears for primary

Monday is the deadline to register if you want to vote in Pennsylvania's April 24 primary.

Residents can apply in person at various locations, including county registration offices, PennDot photo and license centers and area agencies on aging. They can also download a registration form - at www.votespa.com - and mail it to their county registration office.

In the primary, Republicans and Democrats will vote for nominees for president, the U.S. Senate and House, state attorney general, auditor general and treasurer, the state Legislature as well as delegates to the national nominating conventions.

Voters will be asked for photo identification, but it will not be required under the state's new photo ID law until the general election.
