Original Message Voting in Pennsylvania — and especially in Philadelphia — has the capacity to be a perplexing and intimidating task. To make your Election Day life a bit easier, I checked in with Zack Stalberg, the head of the Committee of Seventy, a non-partisan election watchdog group that will have 800 volunteers on the phones and streets to try to make sure everything is on the up-and-up.

Yesterday, I started hearing complaints that people were getting robocalls indicating that their polling places had changed when they hadn’t. Are you hearing similar things?
There is a whole range of complaints already, and the closer we get, the more they tend to be about misinformation or disinformation. As with any other big election, there are signs of people either innocently making a mistake or really trying to get bad information out there to confuse people.

So how do I know for sure where I have to show up to vote?
Anyone with a doubt can just give us a call at 866-OUR-VOTE. There are other avenues, but your best bet is not the city or the state or any website. Over the course of the day, we’ll have 120 people answering the phones here and another 700 people out on the street. Also here are the correct authorities. We’ll have representatives from the District Attorney’s office and the city’s Law Department.
