Philly.com: PA Voting Reminders:

Polls in Pennsylvania will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

New voters or those voting at a polling place for the first time must show a voter ID card, photo ID, or federal or state government-issued ID.

Acceptable non-photo ID includes a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or government check.

Those without such identification will be allowed to vote by provisional ballot.

If an election official at the polls challenges a person's eligibility to vote, the would-be voter can cast a provisional ballot that will be kept separate from unchallenged votes. Numbers to Call for Help
