With National Voter Registration Day being observed next week, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt is reminding residents how simple it is to get registered — and why it matters in every election, not just presidential years. “Provided you are over the age of 18, and you are a United States citizen, you can register to vote either online. You can go through our department, which is vote.pa.gov, and apply to register to vote online. “There’s been no shortage of misinformation around elections,” Schmidt noted.
