VOTING IN JEFFERSON HILLS
Voter District Reapportionment
The Borough of Jefferson Hills has added a voting district and reshaped some of the previous districts. If your voting location has changed due to the voting district reapportionment, you should have been notified with a mailer from Allegheny County prior to the primary election. We recommend checking your voting location before heading out to vote.
