🗳️ Hey Pittsburgh and Allegheny County: It's almost time to vote in the highly anticipated 2024 election.
With Pennsylvania mail-in ballots trickling in and Nov. 5 less than a month away, do you know who is running for office in both national and statewide races?
PublicSource composed an Election guide ([link removed]) to help you keep track of key upcoming dates ([link removed]) , check your voter registration ([link removed]) , find your polling place ([link removed]) and learn more about the candidates running in congressional and legislative races organized by county ([link removed]) .
If you know someone in Allegheny ([link removed]) , Armstrong ([link removed]) , Beaver ([link removed]) , Butler ([link removed]) , Fayette ([link removed]) , Lawrence ([link removed]) , Washington ([link removed]) or Westmoreland ([link removed]) counties who could benefit from county-specific ballot guides, forward this email to them ([link removed]) . And, if you need help with how and where to
return mail-in ballots in Allegheny County, learn more here ([link removed]) .
As you learn more about who you are voting for, read about how some Pittsburgh Public Schools teachers are teaching newly registered high school voters — a constituency that often gets information from sources like TikTok — about media literacy, government and misinformation ([link removed]) .
