Security Flaw with PA's
On-line Registration May Effect Voters
Eligibility to Vote
VotePA, www.votePA.us,
has issued an important alert. If you registered to vote online this
year, your registration may not be valid. The only way to guarantee
that you can vote on April 22 is to check with your county voter
registration office. That office must have a signed, paper copy of
your registration form by the close of business next Monday, March 24.
You can download a
registration form from the state web site (CLICK
HERE), but you must get the signed form to your county voter
registration office by Monday's deadline.
Send
Registration Forms to:
County of
Lancaster
Election Board/Registration Commission
150 N. Queen St.
P.O. Box 83480
Lancaster, PA 17608-3480
Call by April 24
to assure that your forms have been received:
(717) 299-8293
A security flaw
with the online registration form made it possible to change the names
on registration forms that voters already filed. The state Bureau of
Commissions, Elections and Legislation has disabled the page where the
on-line registration page was located.
It is entirely
possible that the problem was discovered before any harm occurred.
However, if you used the state's on-line registration page (as opposed
to downloading just the paper form), check with your county voter
registration office.
But this isn't the
only problem. According to a report in the Allentown Morning Call,
some voters believe that filling out the online form is enough to
register. But it's not. To register, voters must also print the
completed form and mail it, or take it, to their voter registration
office. Read

When
you are registered correctly, you receive a registration card with
your party and precinct on it within a few days. If you registered
some time ago and have not received your registration card, check with
your county voter registration office.
Bottom Line
-
Make sure you are
properly registered to vote by close of business next Monday.
-
Also, make sure
you know where your polling place is. Sometimes they change.
