Becoming an Educated Voter (who the heck is running?)

Greetings, super friends!

My grandmother, bless her soul, is finally trying to become an educated voter. Part of being an educated voter means knowing who is running. We are both well educated on who is running for President, of course, but neither of us have any idea who's running for the other offices...or, for that matter, what offices are even up for election right now.

She asked me today if there was any way to see the ballot in advance, so she could google the names and figure out who they were, beyond their party affiliation. I think that's a great idea, but I couldn't come up with anything.

So...is there anyway to see a ballot in advance? We live in Pennsylvania.

Thanks!

    You'll be sent a sample ballot before the election, but hopefully your County Clerk or Commisioner of Elections or whatever you have has posted all of your races on their website.
