Concordville, Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania residents can register online through the Department of State at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationapplication.aspx. Registration must be completed 15 days before Election Day. Applicants need to provide a Pennsylvania driver's license number or PennDOT identification card number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. First-time voters who register by mail must show identification when voting for the first time. The state now offers same-day voter registration during the early voting period, implemented for the 2024 election cycle. Those preferring to register in person can visit the Delaware County Elections Office Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. As an unincorporated community, Concordville holds no municipal elections for mayor or town council. Instead, residents vote in Concord Township elections for five township supervisors serving six-year staggered terms, with these contests appearing on the May municipal primary ballot in odd-numbered years. Local voters also participate in school board elections for the Garnet Valley School District, where nine board members serve four-year terms. These races typically appear on the May primary ballot in odd-numbered years as well. Voters can locate their assigned polling place through the Pennsylvania Voter Services website at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx by entering their address, or by contacting the Delaware County office directly. Polling locations are typically schools, community centers, and other public facilities within each precinct. Polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM on Election Day. Publicly accessible election records in Pennsylvania include voter registration lists, available for purchase by candidates and political committees, campaign finance reports filed with the Department of State at www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov, candidate nominating petitions and filings, and official election results by precinct. Delaware County posts unofficial results on election night at www.delcopa.gov, with certified results published after the official canvass. The November 2024 presidential election saw strong turnout in Delaware County, with approximately 72% of registered voters casting ballots. This reflects the competitive political scene and high civic engagement that characterize the area. The county has shifted politically in recent cycles, with Democratic candidates winning county-wide races by substantial margins. Several significant races await Concordville and Delaware County voters in the November 3, 2026 general election. Pennsylvania will not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026, as the next Senate contests are scheduled for 2028. However, voters will decide the race for Governor of Pennsylvania, as Governor Josh Shapiro's term expires in January 2027. State legislative races will include all 203 Pennsylvania House of Representatives seats - Concordville is in the 165th Legislative District - and half of the 50 Pennsylvania Senate seats. The community falls within the 9th Senatorial District, which is up for election in 2026. County voters will elect county council members and row officers including Sheriff, Controller, and various other positions. Concord Township will not have municipal elections in 2026, as the next township election is May 2025, though school board positions may appear on the ballot depending on term expirations. Pennsylvania offers both absentee and mail-in voting options. Any registered voter can request a mail-in ballot without providing a reason through the online application at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/onlineabsenteeapplication, by submitting a paper application to the Delaware County Elections Office, or in person at the office. The deadline to request a mail-in or absentee ballot is 5:00 PM on the Tuesday before Election Day, seven days prior. Completed ballots must be received by the Delaware County elections office by 8:00 PM on Election Day to be counted - postmarks do not count. Voters can also return ballots in person to the Elections Office or to official ballot drop boxes located throughout Delaware County during the weeks before Election Day. First-time mail-in voters must include a copy of acceptable identification with their ballot. Pennsylvania law requires mail-in ballots to be placed in the inner secrecy envelope and then in the outer mailing envelope with required signatures to be counted.
