Pennsylvania residents including those in the borough can register to vote online through the Pennsylvania Department of State voter registration portal at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/VoterRegistrationApplication.aspx. The online system requires a Pennsylvania driver's license or PennDOT identification card.

Pennsylvania permits same-day updates to party affiliation and address changes during certain periods. Eligible voters must be U.S. Citizens, Pennsylvania residents, and at least 18 years old by the next election. First-time voters who register by mail may need to provide identification when voting for the first time. As an unincorporated community, the borough has no municipal elections for mayor, council, or local offices. Residents vote in Mifflin Township supervisor elections, with township positions appearing on municipal ballots in odd-numbered years like 2025 and 2027. Pennsylvania municipal elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in odd-numbered years. Voters also participate in all Lycoming County elections including county commissioner, sheriff, coroner, treasurer, and other county row offices, which appear on ballots in municipal election years on a staggered schedule. Residents can find their assigned polling place using the Pennsylvania polling place lookup tool at www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/pages/pollingplaceinfo.aspx by entering their address. Polling places are typically located in schools, fire halls, or community centers within the township. Pennsylvania law requires polls to be open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on election day. Pennsylvania election records available to the public include voter registration lists, available with limitations under Pennsylvania law, and campaign finance reports filed by candidates and political committees, searchable through the Pennsylvania Department of State website. Candidate filings and petitions are available through county election offices, along with precinct-level election results. The Lycoming County Bureau of Elections publishes unofficial election results on election night and certifies official results following canvassing. Detailed precinct results are available through the Lycoming County website following certification. In the November 2024 presidential election, Lycoming County recorded approximately 61,000 total votes cast, representing roughly 63% turnout of registered voters, with the county favoring Republican candidates consistent with recent voting patterns. The November 3, 2026 general election will present voters with significant statewide and local races. Pennsylvania voters will decide the gubernatorial election, as Governor Josh Shapiro's term ends in 2027, with governors serving four-year terms. A U.S. Senator will also be elected, as one of Pennsylvania's two Senate seats will be on the ballot. The entire Pennsylvania House of Representatives with its 203 seats and half of the Pennsylvania Senate, 25 of 50 seats, will be elected, including the state representative and senator representing the borough's legislative districts. Lycoming County will also elect various county offices depending on the election cycle schedule. Residents of Mifflin Township will see township supervisor positions on the ballot in the May 2025 municipal primary and November 2025 general election. Pennsylvania offers mail-in voting to all registered voters without requiring an excuse under Act 77 of 2019. Voters can request mail-in or absentee ballots online through www.pavoterservices.pa.gov/onlineabsenteeapplication, by submitting a paper application to the Lycoming County Bureau of Elections, or by applying in person. Mail-in ballot applications must be received by 5:00 PM the Tuesday before election day. Completed ballots must be received by the Lycoming County election office by 8:00 PM on election day, as postmarks do not extend this deadline. Pennsylvania also permits early in-person voting at county election offices beginning when mail ballots become available, typically several weeks before election day.
