PA Dems advisory concerning May Primary [View all]



QUESTION 1: VOTE NO
The first question on your 2021 PA Primary ballot asks whether partisan legislators should be able to terminate a governor's existing emergency declaration, like the one being used now to fight the pandemic.

This amendment would allow partisan politicians to derail nonpartisan emergency response. It could even put Harrisburg gridlock in the way of health experts and first responders.

VOTE NO to keep partisan politics out of Pennsylvania's disaster response.

QUESTION 2: VOTE NO
Just like the first, the second question on your 2021 PA Primary ballot would strip power from the governor, health experts, and emergency responders to put it in the hands of the gridlocked PA legislature.

In this case, the amendment would automatically terminate emergency declarations after just three weeks. Only the legislature would have the power to extend or renew emergencies.

VOTE NO to keep partisan politics out of Pennsylvania's disaster response.

QUESTION 3: VOTE YES
The third question on your 2021 PA Primary ballot asks whether the state constitution should specifically prohibit the denial of equal rights based on race or ethnicity.

This amendment offers additional protection against laws or policies that would deny Communities of Color their legal rights. It codifies the progress many Pennsylvanians have fought for for so long.

VOTE YES to help ensure equal rights under the law for all Pennsylvanians.

These important ballot questions show the value of voting in every single election! Please share this guidance with fellow PA voters and ask them to vote No, No, Yes with you.

Polls are open from 7 AM until 8 PM on Tuesday, May 18th. You can also vote from home by requesting your mail ballot right now.
