Upper Hanover-3 voters will continue to cast theirs at Palm Schwenkfelder Church.

2014 Election Redistricting
In 2013 the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court gave unanimous approval of a revised redistricting plan that will put the residents of the Upper Perkiomen Valley (and some other areas in the Commonwealth) in unchartered waters.
The residents of the Upper Perkiomen School District will now be split among three different state legislative districts and be represented by three different representatives.
Marlborough Township and Green Lane Borough will continue to be in the 147th District, currently represented by Republican Marcy Toepel; Hereford Township will remain in the 134th District, currently represented by Republican Ryan Mackenzie; and the boroughs of East Greenville, Pennsburg and Red Hill, along with Upper Hanover Township have been stripped from the 135th and shifted to 131st District currently represented by Republican Justin Simmons.
The changes take effect with the 2014 elections.
Just a Reminder...
The boroughs of East Greenville, Pennsburg, Red Hill and Upper Hanover District 3, formerly in the 15th U.S. Congressional District are now part of the 6th U.S. Congressional District, currently being served by Rep. James Gerlach, who is not seeking reelection this year.
Upper Hanover District 1 and 2, formerly in the 15th U.S. Congressional District, are now in the 8th U.S. Congressional District and currently being served by Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick, who is seeking reelection this year.
Don't Forget...
Vote on May 20. Great people risked everything and lost it all to give you that right. Many died to preserve that right for you. Don't let them down. Cast your ballot.
