Bucks County Board of Elections Offers Reminders to Voters as Primary Day Approaches
With General Primary Day approaching next Tuesday, April 22, Bucks County Board of Elections Director Deena Dean reminds voters of a few details that can ensure a smooth experience at the polls.
“I encourage all voters who haven’t used the county’s new machines yet to either watch our instructional video or actually test out the voting machine,” Dean noted. There are several ways to learn to use the machines.
- Go to www.BucksCounty.org, click on the Bucks Votes icon and scroll down to the second link, Bucks Votes instructional video to view the video.
- Visit the Bucks County Courthouse in Doylestown during normal business hours to view the video and then participate in a demonstration.
- Tune in to Comcast Channel 96 during programming to view the video (weekdays noon to 1 p.m.., 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and 11 p.m. to midnight; weekends 7 to 11 p.m.)
- Visit the Lower Bucks Government Services Center, Levittown, during normal business hours to participate in a demonstration.
- Go to www.BucksCounty.org, click on the Bucks Votes icon and scroll down to the first link to view or print a voting guide.
- All polling places will have copies of the guide, which features step-by-step instructions, as well as county libraries.
Dean also reminds the public that all voters who appear at a polling place for the first time must show proof of identification. Approved forms of photo identification include:
- Pennsylvania driver’s license or PennDOT ID card
