Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt is reminding eligible voters to register by October 19 to participate in the November 3 election.
Schmidt also cautioned residents to use secure websites when checking their voter registration status, warning of phishing scams targeting personal information.
“Voters should also be aware that there are phishing scams out there that attempt to capture voters’ personal information by encouraging them to click links in order to allegedly check their voter registration status. Vote.gov is the best and most secure place to verify your voter registration information,” Schmidt said.
Schmidt addressed concerns about election fraud, stating that every voting system in the state is tested before each election to ensure ballots are marked and counted accurately.
