New Hope-Solebury Voter Guide 2025: Who's On Ballot, Where To Vote

NEW HOPE, PA — The primary election is Tuesday, May 20, and New Hope Borough and Solebury Township voters will be casting their ballots for municipal offices and the New Hope-Solebury School Board.

The election technically has already begun, as mail-in votes have started to return to Bucks County.

For the primary election, residents vote for contested and uncontested races for their Democratic and Republican parties. Some school board members are cross-filing in both parties. In those cases, if the candidate wins on both ballots on May 20 they will move on to November uncontested.
