How to Register to Vote or Update Your Voter Registration

You can fill out a voter registration form online and print it out and mail it in.  There are two great websites that can help you with your voter registration.

1. TurboVote

I just learned about this website a few weeks ago.  TurboVote is a super simple to use website – you put in your address and they will send you email reminders about voting deadlines.  Attached to the email is a PDF of  voter regsitration form that is already filled in with your information.  All you need to do if open the PDF, print it out, sign it and mail it to the county board of elections.

I have signed up for TurboVote and they do not send any extra emails.  The image here is of the email I received yesterday.

2.  Rock The Vote

Click here or the image below to access a out the voter registration form (via Rock The Vote website).  Neither IheartPGH or Rock The Vote collects any of your information – we can only see how many people used the link to fill out  a registration form.
