On Campus Polling Locations

What campus polling locations are being used?

Posvar Hall, Bellefield Hall and the William Pitt Union are polling locations on campus.

Why are Pitt buildings being used as polling locations?

The University (and many others across the country) has a proud tradition of opening up its campus to support the democratic process. Public service is a part of our mission as a public university, and civic engagement is an ethic that we work to foster in our students and the University community as a whole.

What protocol should Pitt community members who vote and work in the same polling location building follow?

Pitt community members will use separate marked entrances for each: One designated for voting and one designated for University business and instruction, following all safety guidelines.

Who will manage the polling process, including safety protocols and any lines?

County Officials independently manage all polling locations — including voter registration, participation, safety protocols and wait lines — separate from the University.

If a Pitt community member has questions, issues or concerns regarding polling locations, who should they contact?

Anyone with questions regarding these buildings can contact Pitt's Office of Facilities Management at (412) 624-9512. On election day, County Officials in charge of the area will manage all inquiries associated with the polling location onsite.
