Pennsylvania
All Voting is Local Pennsylvania works with and advocates for local election officials to provide all Pennsylvanians with the freedom to vote. We work to prevent conspiracy theorists throughout the state from sabotaging our elections, limiting voter access, and stripping voters of popular measures like voting by mail. All Voting PA works to expand access to the ballot through language access, increased access for justice-impacted voters, and a continued push for the advancement of pro-voter policies.
Take Action
Most Pennsylvanians who are incarcerated can vote, and those who have been previously incarcerated can vote as well. All Pennsylvanians deserve to have access to accurate information about their eligibility and the ways in which they can cast a ballot.
FEATURED WORK
In 2023, All Voting advocated for expanded access to the ballot for at least 198,000 voters across Pennsylvania who speak a primary language other than English. Together with the Woori Center, we convened a coalition of more than 15 nonpartisan, immigrant-led organizations to call on Montgomery County, a dense Philadelphia suburb, to create voting materials in multiple languages. Through a nonpartisan candidate questionnaire for the 2023 Montgomery County commissioner election, we secured commitments from all the candidates to provide voting materials in multiple languages – beyond what even federal protections in the Voting Rights Act require. Having a written commitment from the current officeholder leaves us with a firm foothold to expand election material translations into even more languages in 2024, impacting as many as 12,500 voters in the county.
