Media, PA Sample Ballot for Election Day Tuesday, November 8th
Nov 08
Tuesday, November 8th is election day in Media, PA.
Media Residents will get to choose their officals for Media Borough Council, Rose Tree Media School Board, Court of Common Pleas, Commonwealth Court, and County Council.
Some elections are considered “non-partisan,” such as School Board and Judge elections. Most candidates do something called “cross-filing” where they file to be placed on both the Democratic and the Republican primary ballot.
The issue with this is that it is difficult to determine who is who. Candidates are linked to their election websites when available.
So, here is a cheat sheet to determine who is who in tomorrow’s election (Blue is Democrat, Red is Republican). For more information, please visit each candidate’s web site.
And no matter what, just make sure you VOTE.
