  • U.S. House of Representatives (18 seats)

  • Auditor
  • Treasurer
  • State Senate (25 seats)
  • House of Representatives (203 seats)

Pennsylvania’s statewide filing deadline is the 13th to take place in the 2020 election cycle. The next statewide filing deadline is on March 2 in Nebraska.

Pennsylvania has a divided government, and no political party holds a state government trifecta. A trifecta exists when one political party simultaneously holds the governor’s office and majorities in both state legislative chambers.
