PHILADELPHIA – Polls have closed in Pennsylvania as voters spent Tuesday casting their ballots in pivotal elections that could reshape the state’s political landscape.
All eyes locally are on the Philadelphia district attorney’s race between incumbent Larry Krasner, and former municipal judge and military vet Pat Dugan.
Pennsylvania voters were also asked to decide whether three Democratic state Supreme Court judges should retain their seats.
You can view live results for both the Philadelphia DA’s race and the Supreme Court retentions in the chart below.
Who is on the ballot in Pennsylvania?
What we know:
Election Day in Philadelphia was highlighted by the District Attorney’s race between incumbent Larry Krasner and Republican challenger Pat Dugan.
Krasner is seeking his third term as Philadelphia’s top prosecutor against Dugan, who he defeated in May’s democratic primary election.
Dugan collected enough write-in votes to earn Philadelphia’s vacant Republican nomination to set up a rematch against Krasner.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court retention vote
Pennsylvania voters will decide if three of the state’s Democratic Supreme Court judges will maintain their seats.
The three justices — Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht — are backed by the Democratic Party in their bids for retention. A new term is 10 years, although Donohue must retire in 2027 when she turns the mandated retirement age of 75.

Who’s running for retention on the PA Supreme Court?
On Nov. 4, Pennsylvanians will vote on the retention of three justices who have sat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court since 2015 – Justices Christine Donohue, David Wecht and Kevin Dougherty. But who are they?
Should all three lose, their seats would become vacant in January and leave the court deadlocked with a 2-2 partisan split until voters fill the open seats in 2027 — unless Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and the state Senate can agree on temporary fill-in appointees.
