It's not too late to register to vote in the May primary.

The deadline for registering is April 16, and the process is easier than ever before with the Online Voter Registration system.

"Voting is the most important way in which we can participate in our democracy," Pennsylvania Acting Secretary of State Robert Torres said in a press release today, adding the online system has been used by more than 1 million voters in the state so far and is the best method for registering or updating registration information.

On May 15, those who are registered as Republicans or Democrats will get to choose the two parties' nominees for U.S. senator, governor, lieutenant governor, representatives in congress, half of state senators, all representatives in the General Assembly and some state and county party members.

Torres encouraged voters to use the online system, whether they are updating an existing registration or registering for the first time.
