As a small borough, Lewisberry elects a mayor and seven borough council members during municipal elections in odd-numbered years. Council members serve four-year staggered terms, so some seats come up every two years Details about local candidates and ballot questions are available from the York County elections office or the Lewisberry Borough Office at 717-938-6613. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the state's polling place locator at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx, which pinpoints your precinct and voting location when you enter your address. Pennsylvania law (25 P.S. § 2601 et seq.) makes certain election records public. Voter registration lists can be purchased for political purposes, campaign finance reports are searchable at www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov, and candidate filings, petitions, and precinct-level results are all accessible. The county elections office posts detailed results by precinct on their website after certification. The county tends to lean Republican in most races, though outcomes shift depending on the contest and precinct. Pennsylvania doesn't have a U.S. Senate race that year, but the entire Pennsylvania House of Representatives - all 203 seats - and half of the state Senate (25 of 50 seats) will appear on the ballot. Local voters will elect their state representative and possibly their state senator depending on district numbering. York County row offices including commissioners, sheriff, district attorney, controller, and others may also face election depending on term schedules.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Lewisberry voters are published by the Pennsylvania Department of State Bureau of Elections (https://www.vote.pa.gov/).

Pennsylvania offers mail-in voting under Act 77, allowing any registered voter to request a mail-in ballot without giving a reason through www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VotingApplicationStatus.aspx or by submitting a written application to the York County elections office.
