Paxtonville, Pennsylvania Public Records

First-time voters need to provide either a Pennsylvania driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Because the community is unincorporated, there are no mayoral or town council races specific to the area. Instead, residents participate in Penn Township elections, choosing township supervisors and other local officials during municipal primaries each May and general elections each November of odd-numbered years. County offices on the ballot include three County Commissioners who serve staggered four-year terms, along with Sheriff, Treasurer, Coroner, and other constitutional positions. At the state level, voters here fall within the 85th Legislative District for the Pennsylvania House and the 27th District for the State Senate. Residents can locate their assigned polling place by entering their address at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/PollingPlaceInfo.aspx. Pennsylvania's Act 77, passed in 2019, opened mail-in voting to any qualified voter without requiring an excuse. Applications are available at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplications. The county election office must receive applications by 5:00 PM the Tuesday before an election, and completed ballots must arrive by 8:00 PM on Election Day itself. Public election records in Pennsylvania include voter registration lists, which can be purchased for political purposes, campaign finance reports accessible through the Pennsylvania Department of State at https://www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov, candidate nominating petitions and filings kept by the Snyder County elections office, and precinct-level results published by the county after certification. Pennsylvania law at 25 P.S. § 2602 makes voter registration records public while protecting certain personal information from disclosure.
