费城华人选民迎大选：中文选票材料与现场协助已就位
距离11月3日大选不到十天，费城华人社区的投票准备进入最后阶段。根据亚裔选民投票指南，费城为华人选民提供中文选票材料与现场协助，宾夕法尼亚州也公布了官方中文选民信息页面，帮助不熟悉英文选举程序的选民了解投票规则。指南同时提醒，选民可以带自己选择的协助人进入投票站，但协助人不能是自己的雇主或工会代表。
这一安排对费城华埠及周边华人聚居区的长者选民尤其重要，他们中不少人更习惯用中文阅读选票说明。2026年大选将改选众议院全部435个席位、参议院33个席位以及多项州与地方职位，华人选民的参与度将直接影响宾夕法尼亚州多场竞争激烈的选战结果。
社区组织呼吁，尚未投票的选民提前确认自己的投票站与选票内容，遇到语言障碍及时向投票站工作人员求助，不要等到选举日当天才处理。与此同时，纽约市与新泽西州的提前现场投票已于10月24日启动，费城华人选民如有亲友居住在两地，也可提醒他们留意提前投票时间。

Philadelphia's Chinese Voters Prepare for Election: Chinese Ballot Materials and In-Person Help in Place
With fewer than 10 days to go before the November 3 election, Philadelphia's Chinese community is in the final stage of voting preparations. According to an Asian voter guide, Philadelphia provides Chinese-language ballot materials and in-person assistance for Chinese voters, and Pennsylvania has also published an official Chinese-language voter information page to help voters unfamiliar with English-language election procedures understand the voting rules. The guide also reminds voters that they may bring an assistant of their own choosing into the polling place, but that person cannot be their employer or a union representative.
The arrangement is especially important for senior voters in Philadelphia's Chinatown and surrounding Chinese neighborhoods, many of whom are more comfortable reading ballot instructions in Chinese. The 2026 election will choose all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 33 Senate seats, and a range of state and local offices, and Chinese voter turnout will directly affect several closely contested races in Pennsylvania.
Community organizations are urging voters who have not yet voted to confirm their polling place and ballot in advance, to ask poll workers for help if they face language barriers, and not to wait until Election Day. Meanwhile, early in-person voting in New York City and New Jersey began on October 24, and Philadelphia's Chinese voters with relatives or friends in those places can remind them to note the early voting hours.
