Nomination Petitions now available!

Petitions may be created online at https://petitions.philadelphiavotes.com

On February 23, 2022 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court announced the petition calendar for the Congressional and Statewide candidates but not state legislative offices. For Congressional and Statewide candidates, the first day to circulate and file nomination petitions was, February 25, 2022, and the last day to circulate and file is March 15, 2022. The order did not specify if this calendar applies to candidates for Democratic and Republican City Committee. The Pennsylvania Department of State filed a request for clarification to the court’s February 23rd order requesting that the local committee petitions coincide with the state legislative races and Delaware County sought to intervene, requesting that the local committee petitions coincide with Congressional and Statewide candidates. On February 25, 2022 the Philadelphia City Commissioners made petitions available online at PhiladelphiaVotes.com or in City Hall Room 142.

On March 2, 2022, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court clarified that Candidates for Democratic and Republican City Committee can circulate and file nomination petitions now and the last day to circulate and file is March 15, 2022.

The period for circulating and filing nomination petitions for State Committee shall be aligned with the Pennsylvania General Assembly which will be set by a further order by the Supreme Court subsequent to its adjudication of the challenges to the Final Plan of the Legislative Reapportionment Commission.
