Lower Merion Election Guide: Who's On The Ballot, Where To Vote

LOWER MERION, PA — Elections for governor and congress will be among the choices Lower Merion residents make during the midterms.

General Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Here's a rundown on some basics before Election Day, including what's on the ballot and different ways to cast your vote.

Who's On My Ballot?

Lower Merion is split between two districts in both the U.S. House of Representatives and Pennsylvania's House of Representatives. So the races on your ballot depend on where you live in town.

Here's how to figure out who's on your ballot:

1. Search your address on Lower Merion Township's "Ward Map." That will display your election precinct.
2. Then, search for your sample ballot on Montgomery County's website. In the dropdown menu, click Lower Merion. Then, view the sample ballot for your election precinct.
