CAIR - Philadelphia Chapter

🗳️ Polls close at 8pm today!

If you haven’t voted yet, this is your midday nudge. There’s still time left for you to do your civic duty.

This is a closed primary, meaning only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in the partisan races today, but every Pennsylvania voter can weigh in on the ballot questions and any local races on your ballot.

What’s on your ballot in 2026: a U.S. Senate seat, all 17 of Pennsylvania’s congressional seats, every seat in the PA House and half the State Senate, plus the local races that hit closest to home — judges, DAs, school boards, city council, row offices.

Primaries are where some of these races get decided.

In these blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, your sadaqah sustains us. We genuinely can’t do it without you. Sixty percent of our annual budget comes from donations made by our community members, and every service we provide always remains free.

Donate to CAIR Philadelphia at pa.cair.com/dh2026 and help us continue protecting civil rights, supporting immigrants, and serving Muslim communities across Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Mark your calendars — this weekend is packed with opportunities to gather, advocate, and celebrate with our community across Pennsylvania.
