The Pennsylvania primaries are quickly approaching. The voting will be held Tuesday, April 26, and the Pennslyvania general election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Those dates will get here quicker than you may think. We suggest brushing up on the presidential candidates’ platforms before going to vote.

It is something that should not be taken lightly.
