Local authorities — PA

First-class county / borough sources.

For some tasks — especially sample ballot, drop-box lists, and live local results — the county or borough is the authoritative source. We list them here as peer authorities, not delegates.

FIRST-CLASS
Philadelphia City Commissioners
PA's only consolidated city-county. ArcGIS-native polling-place portal at atlas.phila.gov — only county whose primary lookup tool IS a GIS app. PA SOS doesn't aggregate sample ballots, so vote.phila.gov is the only real surface for Philly voters.
