2026 Pennsylvania Elections FAQ

When is the 2026 Pennsylvania primary election?
The 2026 Pennsylvania primary election is on May 19, 2026.
When is the 2026 Pennsylvania general election?
The 2026 Pennsylvania general election is on Nov 3, 2026.
What races are on the ballot in Pennsylvania in 2026?
Pennsylvania's November 3, 2026 ballot includes races for governor and lieutenant governor, all 17 US House districts, 25 of the 50 state Senate seats, and all 203 state House seats. There is no US Senate race in Pennsylvania in 2026; the state's next Senate election is in 2028.
How does Pennsylvania's primary work?
Pennsylvania uses a closed primary: only voters registered with a party may vote in that party's primary, while independents are limited to any ballot questions or special elections held the same day. There is no runoff; the highest vote-getter wins the nomination outright. Pennsylvania's 2026 primary was held on May 19, setting the November 3 general-election matchups.
Why is the 2026 Pennsylvania Governor race important?
Pennsylvania is a core swing state, and its 2026 governor's race pairs a Democratic incumbent, Josh Shapiro, against a Republican who already holds statewide office, Treasurer Stacy Garrity. The winner will hold the governorship through the 2028 presidential cycle and sign or veto election-related legislation, and the contest doubles as a closely watched test of both parties' strength in a battleground state.
