Who to Call

If a dispute comes up

Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026

If a polling place is blocked or voters are being kept out, Pennsylvania's Courts of Common Pleas are in session from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Election Day, and longer if needed, with judges available in all 67 counties to settle voting disputes, according to City & State PA. Statewide, officials told City & State they are preparing for scenarios such as power outages and cyberattacks, which is preparation, not a report that anything has happened. The same story says U.S. Department of Justice monitors are expected in Luzerne County, next door to us. It does not mention Monroe, and one judge quoted in it said monitors cannot stop an election or interfere with how it is run. If you see intimidation or rule-breaking, tell the Judge of Elections, call 1-877-VOTESPA, or call the Elections Office.

This is general information, not official guidance. If anything here differs from the Department of State or the county Elections Office, go with them.
