(WHTM) – Pennsylvanians have hours left to register to vote for the May primary election.

May 5 is the last day to vote if you are not already registered in Pennsylvania for the May 20 election. To vote in the next election, your application must be submitted online, by mail to your county voter registration office, or in person to the voter registration office by May 5.

Residents can check their eligibility and registration status on the PA Voter Services website.

Pennsylvanians also have until May 13 to apply for a mail ballot, which must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day, May 20. Ballots can be returned through the mail or, if available, in person to your County Board of Election Office or drop box.

The polls on Election Day will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with local municipal races on the ballot.

Pennsylvania is reminding voters to be aware of these dates as deadlines approach.

“Educating Pennsylvania’s voters about upcoming elections is part of Governor Shapiro’s commitment to strengthening our democracy and ensuring safe and secure elections,” Secretary of State Al Schmidt said. “No voter should miss out on the opportunity to have their voice heard, so the Department provides clear, nonpartisan information about how Pennsylvanians can cast their ballot and have it counted.”

For more information on voting in Pennsylvania, including mail ballots, call the Department of State’s year-round voter hotline at 1-877-VOTESPA or visit vote.pa.gov.
