Ebervale, Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania residents can register online at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx through the Department of State's portal.

First-time voters registering by mail must show identification when casting their first ballot. As an unincorporated community, the area has no municipal government or local elections of its own. Residents instead vote for Foster Township supervisors, tax collector, and auditors during municipal elections in odd-numbered years. Foster Township Board of Supervisors races occur each November of odd years - the most recent general municipal election was November 7, 2023, with the next scheduled for November 3, 2025. Voters also participate in Luzerne County elections for county council, row officers like controller, coroner, and district attorney, plus judicial positions. State legislative races cover Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 116 and Pennsylvania Senate District 29. Voters can locate their assigned polling place by visiting https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx and entering their address, or by calling the Luzerne County elections bureau at (570) 825-1715. Polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM on election day. Pennsylvania's Act 77 from 2019 established no-excuse mail-in voting, allowing any registered voter to request a mail-in ballot through the online portal at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VotingApplicationStatus.aspx or by submitting a written application to the Luzerne County office. Applications must arrive by 5:00 PM the Tuesday before election day. Completed ballots must be returned by 8:00 PM on election day - postmarks don't extend the deadline - either by mail, at the Luzerne County elections office, or at official drop boxes.

Pennsylvania election records that are public include voter registration lists, available for purchase for legitimate political purposes, campaign finance reports filed with the Department of State at https://www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov, candidate nominating petitions and filings, and certified election results by precinct published by Luzerne County. Voter registration databases show name, address, party affiliation, and voting history, which elections someone voted in, not how they voted, but not birthdates or driver's license numbers. Individual ballot choices are secret and never public. Precinct-level results for all elections are published on the Luzerne County website following certification, typically within two weeks of election day.
