November 6: Voting in PA  Are you ready to vote on November 8? (Make sure you and your friends are already registered before the October 24th deadline.) Bring your questions about voting in PA for a respectful, non-partisan, non-political Q&A. For example, when is the Pennsylvania Primary, and can independent voters participate? We’ll start by visiting the Running for Office section of the Pennsylvania Department of State’s website, www.dos.pa.gov for an overview of how people become candidates. Then, we’ll take a brief tour of voter education resources on the Pennsylvania Department of State’s other website, www.vote.pa.gov. If you have questions before or after our discussion, please call the Pennsylvania Department of State at 1-877-VOTESPA (877-868-3772). Discussion leader: Jennifer Hricak
