Where do I vote in Berks County? Finding your polling place

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.

For the Nov. 3, 2026 general election, several precincts vote somewhere new, according to the county Election Board's Sept. 24 and Oct. 8 minutes and the county's polling list revised Oct. 14. Reading Ward 12, Precinct 3 votes at 10th & Green Elementary School, 400 N. 10th St., a temporary location the board approved Oct. 15 after first moving the precinct to the Olivet Boys and Girls Club; see our Ward 12-3 coverage. Reading Ward 9, Precinct 2 votes in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, 815 Washington St., using the 8th Street entrance, also listed as temporary. Shoemakersville Precinct 1 votes at the Shoemakersville Borough Office, 846 Main St., and Hamburg Precinct 2 at the Hamburg Field House, 125 S. Primrose St. The polling list marks four other Reading-area sites with an asterisk for temporary locations (Reading 5-1 and 14-1, and Maxatawny 63-1 and 63-3) without saying what changed; check the list or the state lookup for your precinct. Details on the Reading and Shoemakersville changes are in our Election Board coverage.
