The Berks Beat|Published September 9, 2026|Facts last verified September 9, 2026

To vote in person in Berks County, go to the polling place assigned to your home address between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Look yours up with the state's polling place tool, because Berks has 202 voting precincts and locations sometimes change between elections.

Find your polling place

  1. Open the official polling place lookup.
  2. Choose your county and city or town from the dropdown menus.
  3. Enter your street name, house number, and ZIP code.
  4. The tool returns your assigned polling place and its address.

The county also keeps a polling locations page. The state lookup is the authoritative source for the address tied to your registration, so use it if a printed list and the tool ever disagree.

Poll hours and the rule that protects you

Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. If you are in line by 8 p.m., you have the right to vote, no matter how long the line takes. Do not leave a line before 8 p.m. and assume you have missed your chance.

What to bring

Most voters do not need to show identification. You must show ID only if it is your first time voting at a new polling place, and it does not have to be a photo ID. See our guide on what ID you need to vote in Berks County for the full list of accepted documents.

If your polling place changed

Counties occasionally move a polling place, so confirm your location shortly before Election Day even if you have voted at the same spot for years. If the lookup shows a location you do not recognize, or you have questions about accessibility at your site, call the Office of Election Services at 610-478-6490.
