Trexlertown, Pennsylvania Public Records

Pennsylvania residents can register to vote online through the Pennsylvania Department of State at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx, with registration closing 15 days before any election. Online registration requires a Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT ID card number, though paper applications can be submitted by mail or in person. As an unincorporated community within Upper Macungie Township, there are no separate municipal elections for mayor or city council specific to the area. Instead, residents vote for Upper Macungie Township Supervisors, the township's governing body. Supervisor elections happen in odd-numbered years during the municipal primary in May and general election in November. Township supervisor terms last six years, with staggered elections. Residents can locate their assigned polling place using the Pennsylvania polling place lookup tool at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/Pages/PollingPlaceInfo.aspx, where entering an address yields polling location, sample ballots, and election details. In the November 2024 presidential election, Lehigh County recorded approximately 68% voter turnout with over 215,000 ballots cast out of roughly 265,000 registered voters, reflecting strong participation in a competitive swing county within the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters in the community and throughout Lehigh County will decide several significant races. Pennsylvania does not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026 (the next Senate races are in 2028), but voters will elect the Governor of Pennsylvania as Governor Josh Shapiro's first term expires (unless he is term-limited or runs for higher office). The 2026 ballot will include all 203 Pennsylvania House of Representatives seats (state legislature lower chamber), half of the 50 Pennsylvania State Senate seats, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Auditor General, State Treasurer, a U.S. Representative for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District (which includes western Lehigh County), and Lehigh County offices including County Executive, County Controller, County Commissioners, judges, and the District Attorney. Upper Macungie Township may have supervisor races or local ballot questions depending on the election cycle. Pennsylvania law permits mail-in voting for all registered voters without requiring an excuse (Act 77 of 2019). Voters can request a mail-in or absentee ballot online at https://www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/OnlineAbsenteeApplication or by submitting a paper application to the Lehigh County election office. The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is 5:00 PM on the Tuesday before Election Day, though the county recommends applying at least two weeks in advance. Completed mail-in ballots must be received by the county by 8:00 PM on Election Day. Pennsylvania election records that are publicly accessible include voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance reports filed by candidates and committees (searchable at https://www.campaignfinanceonline.pa.gov), candidate petition filings maintained by the Lehigh County election office, and precinct-level election results published by the county after each election at https://www.lehighcounty.org/Departments/Voter-Registration/Election-Results. Voter registration information includes name, address, party affiliation, and voting history (which elections a person voted in, but not how they voted), though birth dates and driver's license numbers are protected. Pennsylvania has same-day voter registration available only during the early voting period but not on Election Day itself. Early in-person voting (called on-demand mail-in voting) is available at the Lehigh County election office starting 50 days before Election Day.
