The 2022 Pennsylvania election season is coming up quickly, with primaries this May followed by the general election in November. Voters trying to prepare to cast their ballot will face the same rising misinformation on social media we’ve seen for over a decade, along with the usual last-minute dirty tricks designed to keep them from the polls.
That’s why we want you to know about the important deadlines coming up this year, along with other resources so you can be empowered to cast your ballot and assist your friends and family with trusted information.
If you want to go further and assist other voters at the polls and online, I’d encourage you to join our nonpartisan Protect the Vote 2022 campaign, with training starting mid-April. We’ll provide all the training and resources you need to assist voters, and there’s a supportive community of fellow volunteers that’ll have your back the whole way. There’s a role for everyone — whether it’s helping voters from home, assisting voters safely in person, or tracking online disinformation. Sign up today >>
