Reeders, Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania residents can register to vote online at www.register.votespa.com, the official state portal. The online system requires a valid Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT ID card. Registration must be completed 15 days before any election. First-time voters and those who've moved need to update their registration to reflect their current address in the community. In-person registration is also available at the Monroe County Voter Registration Office, PennDOT driver license centers, or by mailing a completed application available at www.votespa.com. Pennsylvania now offers same-day voter registration during the early voting period that begins 50 days before an election at the Monroe County election office. Because it's an unincorporated community, Reeders doesn't hold municipal elections for mayor or town council. Instead, residents vote in Jackson Township elections for supervisor positions. The township operates under a three-member Board of Supervisors elected to six-year staggered terms, with one supervisor position typically appearing on the ballot every two years during municipal election years, which fall in odd-numbered years. The next municipal election will be held November 4, 2025, when voters will decide various township, school board, and county row office positions. Local voters can find their assigned polling location by visiting www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx and entering their address, or by calling the Monroe County Voter Registration Office at (570) 517-3165. Jackson Township typically operates several voting precincts, with residents assigned to locations based on their specific address within the township. Election records in Pennsylvania are public under the Right-to-Know Law. Voter registration lists showing name, address, party affiliation, and voting history, which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted, are available for purchase from the county for legitimate purposes. Campaign finance reports for candidates and political committees are filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State and searchable at www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov. Candidate filing petitions and nomination papers are public records maintained by the Monroe County election office. Precinct-level election results are published after each election and available at the Monroe County website. In the November 2024 presidential election, Monroe County reported approximately 65% voter turnout with over 56,000 ballots cast from approximately 86,000 registered voters. The county has trended increasingly competitive in recent election cycles, with narrow margins in statewide races. On November 3, 2026, Reeders and Monroe County voters will decide several significant races. Pennsylvania's gubernatorial election will be held, as Governor Josh Shapiro's term expires - governors serve four-year terms, making 2026 the next election. All 203 seats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives will be on the ballot with their two-year terms, including the 176th Legislative District which includes the community. Half of the 50 Pennsylvania State Senate seats will be contested under their four-year staggered terms; voters should check if their senate district is up in 2026. County voters will also decide county row offices including potentially county commissioner seats, district attorney if the term cycle aligns, and other county offices. There is no U.S. Senate seat from Pennsylvania on the ballot in 2026; the next U.S. Senate election is in 2028. Pennsylvania offers universal mail-in voting, meaning any registered voter may request a mail-in ballot without providing a reason. Applications can be submitted online at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication, by mail, or in person at the Monroe County Voter Registration Office. The deadline to apply is 5:00 PM the Tuesday before the election, seven days prior. Completed ballots must be received by the county by 8:00 PM on Election Day; postmarks do not count. Voters can track their mail ballot status at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov. Early in-person voting is available at the Monroe County election office beginning 50 days before Election Day and ending the day before the election.
