While many Philadelphians vote in Presidential elections, many fewer vote in midterm elections. This low turnout has far-reaching consequences. One in every eight registered voters in Pennsylvania is a Philadelphian, but candidates for statewide office spend less than one-eighth of their time campaigning in Philadelphia. They favor the counties with higher voter turnout, and who can blame them? The result is statewide officials (such as Governor) who don't understand us or respond to our needs as well as they would if we turned out to vote in large numbers. At the other end of the scale, members of major political parties (Republican or Democrat) elect local precinct-level party representatives at this primary. Every vote you cast is a vote not only for a candidate, but also for your neighborhood and for your demographic group. Every vote you cast supports the work of the local leaders who represent you. Every vote you cast makes Philadelphia stronger. I hope that this handbook will help you to cast your vote with knowledge and confidence. Sincerely, Stephanie Singer City Commissioner Previous Handbook in the Civics on the Ground Series: Defending Democracy at Home: How to Run for Neighborhood Leadership Positions Voters' Guide to the November 5, 2013, General Election ___________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Stephanie Singer | 215-686-3460 | PhiladelphiaVotes.com | PATransparency.org 3 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Stephanie Singer | 215-686-3460 | PhiladelphiaVotes.com | PATransparency.org 4 About this handbook This handbook is designed to guide voters who wish to participate in the May 20, 2014, election in Philadelphia.

There are four kinds of ballots in Pennsylvania. Regular Ballot: in Philadelphia, a regular ballot is cast at the polling place on Election Day on a voting machine or, if machines are not working properly, on paper. To cast a regular ballot, a voter's registration must be listed in the poll book (which includes the supplemental poll book sheets) on Election Day. You can find your polling place at PhiladelphiaVotes.com2 or by calling the Philadelphia Board of Elections at 215--686-3469. Absentee Ballot: voters who will be absent from Philadelphia on Election Day because of duties, occupation or business, or who cannot get to the polls due to illness, are entitled to request and vote a paper absentee ballot. Information on obtaining and voting absentee ballots is available from the Philadelphia Board of Elections at 215-686-3469 and from VotesPA.com. Alternative Ballot: voters who are 65 years of age or older, or who are physically handicapped, and who are assigned to a polling place that does not meet state standards for accessibility (including two handicapped parking spots), are entitled to request and vote a paper alternative ballot. To find out whether your polling place is deemed accessible by these standards, call the Philadelphia Board of Elections at 215-686-3469. Information on obtaining and voting alternative ballots is available from the Philadelphia Board of Elections at 215-686-3469 and from VotesPA.com. Provisional Ballot: a person who believes her- or himself to be duly registered to vote but whose registration is not listed in the poll book has the right to cast a paper provisional ballot, which will be counted if and when the person's registration has been confirmed. Write-in Voting In each contest where the winner is a person, each voter has the opportunity to write in a name that is not listed on the ballot. To cast a write-in vote on a paper ballot, look for the blank space labeled "Write- In". Instructions for write-in voting are written on every voting machine in Philadelphia. A video demonstration of write-in voting on a Philadelphia voting machine is available at on YouTube in English3 and in Spanish4. 2 http://www.philadelphiavotes.com/index.php?option=com_voterapp&tmpl=component 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_a98Aw39yo 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q706KeTFanM ___________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Stephanie Singer | 215-686-3460 | PhiladelphiaVotes.com | PATransparency.org 6 Important Deadlines Sometimes there are changes in these deadlines; the most up-to-date information is available from the Department of State5.

    April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.
