US EditionYour last-minute guide to voting in the 2025 PA primary election
- Pennsylvania will hold its closed primary election on Tuesday, May 20, where registered Democrats and Republicans will select nominees for statewide and municipal offices, including in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
- Only registered party members may vote in this primary, barring independents and third-party registrants from participation, following Pennsylvania's closed primary system.
- Key contests include Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner seeking a third term against former judge Pat Dugan, who resigned midterm to challenge him as a moderate alternative.
- By early May, Pennsylvania's voter rolls included approximately 3.8 million registered Democrats and 3.6 million registered Republicans across the state, with nearly 390,000 absentee ballots submitted out of 798,000 requested; initial election results from Allegheny and Philadelphia counties were released shortly after polls closed.
- The outcomes of these primary elections will shape the November general election battles, which could alter the partisan balance on the state's highest court, where three Democratic incumbents must secure voter approval to continue in their positions amid Republican attempts to unseat them.
