Save Time With FiosPhilly

August 28, 2016

In 2015 Pennsylvania became the 23rd state to make online voting registration available. When he announced this innovative plan, PA Governor Tom Wolf said:

“Online Voter Registration is about making the voting experience more convenient and more accessible. It is about giving citizens an easier way to exercise their right to vote and establishing a clearer connection between the political system and the citizens. Online voter registration is secure, it improves accuracy and will reduce costs for counties by cutting down on time-consuming data entry.”

I must stress that to vote in the General Election on November 8, Pennsylvania residents MUST be registered by October 11, 2016.

Using the speed of Verizon Fios, registering can be quick and painless. Head over to Votes PA and get yourself registered to vote. The site is optimized for a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. Verizon Fios makes using any of these things easy to get registered! 

Before registering to vote, make sure you have either your Penndot (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) State ID or Driver’s License available. If you do not have these things, have your social security number available.


Again, please register by October 11. Your vote is your voice! 

Some other things to note:

Unless you move, change your name, or your political party, your registration is valid for each election. 

First time voters will need to bring identification to verify you are who you say you are. 

Don’t delay – use Verizon Fios to register today!

    This is such a timely post, Raya! One of my sons will be turning 18 in a few days and wants to register to vote. With the info you provided he’ll be doing it online and he’ll know exactly what to expect. Thank you so much.
