Tweet the Vote – Twitter Guide to the Primary Election

May 18, 2015 Lindsay

Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 19, 2015 is primary election day in Pittsburgh. Most of the registered voters in Pittsburgh are democrats (I have been trying to find the exact percentage of Pittsburgh voters who are registered as democrats, but I have yet to find that statistic).  As a result, most of the elections in the City of Pittsburgh are determined in the Primary election.  If you want to be able to vote for these candidates in the the primary election, you will need to be registered as a democrat.  Voters who are registered as Republican, Independent or any other party can still vote in the Primary election, but there are very few candidates in the City of Pittsburgh who don’t run as democrats.

Please remind your friends, family and neighbors to vote.  Voter turnout for the 2014 Primary Election in Allegheny County was 20.46% for the Democrats and 10.65% for the Republicans.
