Where are the "third party" candidates?

Only Democratic and Republican candidates (and voters) can participate in Pennsylvania's closed primary elections.  Candidates from other parties are selected by their parties using a different process.  Third party candidates who qualify will be on your ballot in November.  Learn more about Pennsylvania's closed primary system on our Primary Basics  page.
Description of office: The US Constitution states that the Senate be composed of 100 members (two Senators from each state). One third of the total membership of the Senate is elected every two years.  US Senators serve six-year terms.  One of Pennsylvania's Senate seats is up for election this year. 

Senators must be at least 30 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least nine years and be a resident of the State from which s/he is chosen at the time of the election. Senators write and vote in favor of or against final bills and serve on various policy committees. The Senate has several exclusive powers not granted to the House, including advice/consent on presidential nominations and treaties and conducting the trial of federal officials impeached by the House.

US Representatives are elected by district.  Allegheny County residents are in either District 12 or District 17.  To locate your district, you can:

  • refer to the map on the left
  • refer to  the text descriptions below
  • enter your address at  Vote411.org
  • check your voter registration at  vote.pa.gov

Description of office: The US Constitution requires that the House of Representatives be composed of Representatives from each state, elected in proportion to population. There are 435 members of the House of Representatives, with 17 Representatives allotted to Pennsylvania after the 2020 census.  US Representatives serve 2-year terms, and all 435 seats are up for reelection every 2 years.

A US Representative must be at least 25 years old, have been a citizen of the United States for the past seven years, and be a resident of the state they seek to represent at the time of the election (though not necessarily the same district). The House of Representatives is responsible for introducing and voting on bills, resolutions and amendments, and for approving the budget. Representatives also serve on various policy committees. The House may send Articles of Impeachment of elected officials to the Senate and elects the President if there is a tie in the Electoral College.
