Quite Exciting, This Election Magic
After last night's split decision on the Democratic side, it's looking more and more like Pennsylvania's April 22nd primary will actually mean something. So:
* If you haven't done so already, register. In order to vote in the primary, you must be registered by March 22nd. Or maybe the 23rd, I'm not sure exactly how "30 days before" would be digured, so better make it the 22nd just to be on the safe side.
* Don't make the same mistake Jersey Mike did. If you want to vote for Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama (or anyone else on the Democratic ballot), make sure you register Democratic. Pennsylvania is a closed primary state, and if you are registered to any other party (or Independent) you will not be allowed to vote in the Democratic primary.

If you're a registered independent (or Republican) and want to change your party affiliation to Democrat so that you can participate in the primary, you can't do it on line . . . you'll need to print out the voter registration form, make sure you check the "change party" box (as opposed to the "Register to vote" box that's pre-checked in the on-line form) and mail it to your county office of voting and elections.
In Dauphin County, mail it to:
Stephen G. Chiavetta
Dauphin County Administration Building
2 SOuth 2nd Street
Harrisburg, PA 17101
