Philadelphia, PA — In an effort to empower voters and promote informed participation, the Committee of Seventy, Pennsylvania’s leading nonpartisan organization dedicated to government transparency and integrity, has launched its updated Interactive Voter Guide, available at ballot.seventy.org.

This free, user-friendly tool allows voters to compare candidates, review ballot questions, and generate a personalized sample ballot based on their address. The guide provides reliable, nonpartisan information on local and statewide races and will expand in the coming weeks to include more counties across the Commonwealth.

This year, voters will decide on the retention of Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices, as well as seats on the Superior Court and Commonwealth Court. The guide also includes detailed information on municipal and local offices in key counties such as Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia.

Candidates from across the state have been invited to participate in the initiative. As they submit their responses, the guide features their biographies, campaign details, and policy positions in their own words—giving voters direct insight into their priorities and platforms.

“Informed voters are the foundation of a healthy democracy, and every Pennsylvanian deserves the tools to make their voice heard,” said Lauren Cristella, President and CEO of the Committee of Seventy. She emphasized the organization’s commitment to innovating civic resources that help citizens vote with confidence.

The platform is accessible via mobile phones and tablets, and includes materials for educators, community groups, and media outlets to encourage widespread use and boost voter engagement.

Key dates for Pennsylvania voters include:

October 20: Last day to register to vote.

October 28 at 5 p.m.: Deadline to request a mail-in ballot.

November 4: Election Day, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

November 4 at 8 p.m.: Deadline for counties to receive completed mail-in ballots.

With over 100 years of service, the Committee of Seventy remains a trusted voice in promoting ethical governance and fair elections. “When more people vote with confidence, our communities and democracy grow stronger,” Cristella concluded.
