This unprecedented election process amid the Coronavirus pandemic has neared its end, as President-elect Joseph R. Biden will become the 46th president of the United States Saturday after amassing more than 75 million votes.

While the presidential election is happening at a national level, there are also elections happening at the state and local level. This includes the attorney general, auditor general, state treasurer and state representatives races.

Out of the 3,822 registered voters in Slippery Rock Township, there were 2,033 ballots cast, with 484 being mail-in and 1,549 being in-person on Election Day. The voter turnout total for the township was 53.19%.
