Craley, Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania voters can register online at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/voterregistrationapplication.aspx or submit a paper application, with the deadline falling 15 days before any election. Registration requires a Pennsylvania driver's license number or PennDOT ID number, or the last four digits of a Social Security number. First-time voters must present ID at the polls. As an unincorporated community without its own municipal government, Craley doesn't hold separate village elections. Instead, residents vote for Chanceford Township supervisors - typically three at-large members serving six-year staggered terms - in elections held during odd-numbered years at the municipal primary in May and general election in November. The ballot also includes York County offices such as county commissioners, sheriff, district attorney, controller, coroner, and prothonotary, most appearing in municipal election years. For state legislative races, the community is part of the 93rd House District and 28th Senate District, though districts are subject to redistricting. Federal offices include Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District for U.S. House and U.S. Senate. The November 3, 2026 general election will present several major races for voters here and across York County. Pennsylvania won't have a U.S. Senate race in 2026 - the next comes in 2028 for the seat currently held by John Fetterman - but will elect a Governor and Lieutenant Governor, since Pennsylvania's gubernatorial elections occur in even non-presidential years. All 203 Pennsylvania House seats and half of the 50 Senate seats will be on the ballot, including the area's state legislative representatives. York County offices up for election in 2026 include county commissioners and row offices depending on term schedules, along with possible township supervisors and tax collectors. In the November 2024 presidential election, York County reported approximately 66% turnout among registered voters, with over 150,000 votes cast out of approximately 230,000 registered voters countywide. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the Pennsylvania voter services portal at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx by entering their address. Most voters from this community cast ballots at Chanceford Township locations such as churches or fire halls. Pennsylvania offers no-excuse mail-in voting, allowing any registered voter to request a mail ballot online at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VotingApplicationStatus.aspx or by contacting the York County elections office. Mail ballot applications must be received by 5:00 PM the Tuesday before Election Day, and completed ballots must be received by 8:00 PM on Election Day - postmarks do not count. Voters can also request annual mail ballot status to automatically receive applications each year. Election related public records in Pennsylvania include voter registration lists, available to candidates and parties for campaign purposes under restrictions, and campaign finance reports filed by candidates and PACs, searchable at the Pennsylvania Department of State website. Candidate nominating petitions and financial statements are also public, as are official election results by precinct. The York County elections office publishes unofficial results on election night and certified results after canvassing, available on the York County website. Poll worker rosters, ballot-level detail, and absentee voter lists are public with some restrictions. Pennsylvania's election code and Right-to-Know Law govern what records are accessible and under what conditions.
