If you’re not a Democrat or Republican, you may be cursing the state’s closed primaries and thinking, “Why should I even bother registering? I can’t vote in the primary!” That’s not correct, if you live in one of the following places that’s hosting a special election on May 21:

• 12^th Congressional District (in Bradford, Centre, Clinton, Juniata, Lycoming, Mifflin, Northumberland, Perry, Potter, Snyder, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Tioga, Union and Wyoming counties)
• 11^th House District (in Butler County)
• 33^rd Senatorial District (Adams, Cumberland, Franklin and York counties) and
• 41^st Senatorial District (Armstrong, Butler, Indiana and Westmoreland counties)

You may also live in a municipality where independents will be asked to weigh in on a question or referendum on May 21. The easiest way to figure out if that applies to you is by checking the sample ballot published by your county elections division or by contacting the office.
