Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt confirmed Pennsylvania held another safe and secure election today, as Pennsylvanians made their voices heard across the Commonwealth. "Thank you to the hundreds of county officials and the approximately 45,000 poll workers who staffed 9,163 polling places so their fellow Pennsylvanians could make their voices heard today," Schmidt said. "Though Election Day falls only twice per year, most of these dedicated public servants work year-round to mitigate against potential problems when it's time for voters to choose their elected officials." Schmidt shared that the Department of State provided quick assistance to the three counties that experienced issues, fulfilling its critical role supporting county officials. "When counties identified issues today, our staff immediately worked hand-in-hand with them so voters could still cast their ballots," Schmidt said.
