Pennsylvania residents register to vote online through the Pennsylvania Department of State at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx, providing either a Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Registration must be completed 15 days before any election, though the state allows same-day changes for address updates. Because Fleetville is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or council positions. Instead, residents participate in Benton Township supervisor elections, typically held during odd-numbered years, along with county, state, and federal contests. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the Pennsylvania lookup tool at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx by entering their name and date of birth, or by contacting the Lackawanna County Board directly. Most area residents cast ballots at Benton Township polling locations. Pennsylvania maintains largely open election records. Voter registration lists can be purchased for political purposes, campaign finance reports are accessible at https://www.campaignfinance.pa.gov, candidate filings remain public through the elections office, and precinct-level results appear on the Lackawanna County website after each election. During the November 2024 presidential election, Lackawanna County recorded approximately 65% turnout as roughly 86,000 of its 132,000 registered voters cast ballots. The county traditionally leans Democratic, though rural communities like Fleetville have shown growing Republican support in recent cycles. For the November 3, 2026 election, voters will decide several key races. Pennsylvania has no U.S. Senate seat up that year - the next Senate race comes in 2028 - but the ballot includes Pennsylvania Governor (current Governor Josh Shapiro's term expires January 2027), Lieutenant Governor, U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District covering northern Lackawanna County, all Pennsylvania State Senate seats including District 20 for the Fleetville area, Pennsylvania State Representative for the 110th Legislative District, Lackawanna County row offices including County Commissioners, various judicial positions with retention votes for Commonwealth Court and Court of Common Pleas judges, and Benton Township supervisor seats. Pennsylvania offers no-excuse mail-in voting, allowing any registered voter to request a ballot through the online portal at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication or by submitting a paper application to the Lackawanna County Board of Elections. Applications must arrive by 5:00 PM the Tuesday before Election Day. Completed ballots must be returned by 8:00 PM on Election Day either by mail (postmarks don't count; ballots must be received by the deadline) or in person at the elections office or designated drop boxes. State law requires voters to place mail-in ballots in both the inner secrecy envelope and outer return envelope following specific instructions, or the ballot may be rejected.
