The Pennsylvania Primary is Tuesday, May 19th.

If there is anyone in your life who needs to register or change their name, address, or party, they have until next Monday, May 4th. In Pennsylvania, you must be a registered Democrat to vote on the Democratic Primary ballot.

You can request a mail ballot or vote early, in person at the Beaver Courthouse, 810 3rd St. until May 12th..

Prepare to vote by viewing your sample ballot. If you are unsure of your precinct and polling place, you can find it here. Links to the candidates’ websites and more voting information is on our website.

If you live in one of the following precincts and vote at the location below, the following Democrats have asked that you write them in as Committeeperson and fill out the circle next to their name:

This Friday is designated as a national day of economic disruption. People are being asked, when and where possible, to refuse to work, go to school, or shop, unless patronizing local businesses.

The Beaver County Democratic Committee recognizes that this isn’t realistic for everyone, so we are planning a weekend of solidarity AND mutual aid. We are rallying on Friday and Saturday and asking those who are able for help refilling the county’s Little Free Pantries to assist in alleviating hunger in our neighborhoods.

Our mission is to get out the vote

for our Democratic candidates twice a year, every year

and to be a good neighbor all year long!

This is accomplished by an all-volunteer Committee

and funded by YOU. 

Your donations stay local.

We depend on you,

not billionaires,

not the DNC,

not the PA Dems,

 YOU help us:

• Pay for literature and texting programs to reach more voters. 
• Rent for our office, so we have a place to meet regulary and the community knows where to find us.
• Plan safe rallies 
• Maintain and upgrade our technology and voter outreach tools.
• Live up to our excellent reputation at the state and national level as one of the most organized and effective Committees in a competitive purple county. 

Most importantly, your consistent contributions help us recruit and elect quality candidates at all levels of government who hold our values, this year and every year.

To continue our work, we need people like you. Every dollar matters; any amount is appreciated. 

For the next month, if you join or continue as a recurring donor of at least $15 a month, you are eligible for a free Union-printed t-shirt celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of America. (See front & back below.)

Sheila reached out to all of the current recurring donors for your shirt size. Call or text her at at 724-601-2267 if you haven’t replied to her yet.

We would love for you to join us for the next two Winning Wednesdays before the primary. We will be texting our voters about our write-in candidate in PA House 14 and reminding them to vote by May 19th.  

If you can’t make any of our events or have another idea, email volunteers@beavercountydemocrats.com or call Sheila at 724-601-2267 to find out how you can get involved.

Adams Street is expected to be under construction for an extended period of time. Please use Pennsylvania Avenue to access the back entrance to the parking lot.
