Pennsylvania voters will head to the polls on Nov. 8 for a closely-watched election that will determine the commonwealth’s next governor and U.S. Senator.

In Centre County, voters also have a choice in who will represent them in the 15th Congressional District. And state House seats are also on the line. Centre County is split into three districts, 77, 171 and a new district, 82 — each of those races is contested.

Below is what you need to know about the voting, candidates and issues, including a Voters Guide compiled by the League of Women Voters of Centre County and stories produced by our partner Spotlight PA.
