BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Now's your chance.
If you've been thinking that things have been going well politically — or that they haven't, and a change is needed — today is the day you can weigh in on the road from here.
Tuesday is Primary Election Day in Pennsylvania.
Lehigh Valley Democratic voters will cast ballots in the 7th Congressional District, 16th District state Senate, the 22nd District state House of Representatives and 187th District state House.
Republicans have no races for those seats; GOP candidates in them are unopposed.
Republicans will vote in a contested primary for lieutenant governor between Pittsburgh attorney Jason Richey and author John Ventre.
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and Republican state Treasurer Stacy Garrity both are unopposed in their primaries.
In Pennsylvania's closed primary, only Democrats and Republicans can vote, and only for candidates in their party.
Polls will be open for in-person voting from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday. Not sure where to go? You can find your local polling place HERE.
Completed mail-in ballots have to be received by the county board of elections office by 8 p.m. today, May 19. Postmarks do not count.
You still can deliver your completed ballot in person, or deposit it in a designated drop box. Here is a rundown of ballot drop boxes in Lehigh and Northampton counties.
