As this legislative session comes to a close, my colleagues in both chambers of the General Assembly passed legislation to restrict cellphone use in Pennsylvania schools. This prohibits students in Pennsylvania schools from using or possessing cell phones during the school day, requiring them to secure their phones in a way that prevents access until the end of the day, with exceptions for certain emergency and medical needs approved by school administrators.

As my colleague Rep. Steele, prime sponsor of the House version of the legislation, put it – “our children need it.”

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd. Whether you vote in person or by mail, have a plan in place!

If you plan to vote in person, you can find your polling place here.

You can request a mail/absentee ballot until 5:00 pm on Tuesday, October 27, online or in person at the Chester County Government Services Center or one of the temporary satellite offices (click here for locations and hours of operation). You can track your ballot here.

If you return your ballot via mail, it must be received by Chester County Voter Services no later than 8:00 pm on November 3 to be counted. You can also put your ballot in one of 13 secure drop boxes in the county which are available every day until the end of the election (click here for hours and locations). Remember, under Pennsylvania law, voters must return their own ballots. The only exceptions to this are for voters with a disability who have designated someone in writing using the Designated Agent Form to deliver their ballot.
