It's time for you to help the process of democracy. Consider running for office, or helping someone who is doing so by helping him or her obtain signatures on a petition. Visit the York County elections office for petition forms, and to find out any specific requirements for the office for which you're running.
You can start collecting signatures no earlier than February 13. The number of signatures required depends upon the office for which you want to be a candidate. It's recommended that you get extra signatures just in case some of your signers aren't eligible to sign for you (for example, if you're a Democrat and they are a Republican they are not eligible to sign for you.)
Your petition must be received by 4:30 p.m. March 6 - no exceptions - at the elections office. Candidates also have to submit a financial interest statement that details the sources of their money.
Even if you're not running and you're not helping someone else get their petition in you can help register voters in time for the May 15, 2007 primary. Go to http://www.pa.lwv.org/voting/votingfaqs.html#VR and follow the links to obtain a voter registration form. These must be received by April 16 for the voter to qualify to participate in this year's primary.
