Cranberry Township voters included in Aug. 18 special election for Pennsylvania’s 12th Legislative District

Butler County election officials have published information for a special election scheduled for Aug. 18, 2026, in Pennsylvania’s 12th Legislative District. The county’s official election materials include 11 Cranberry Township precincts: East 1 through East 3 and West 1 through West 8.

The release gives voters in those precincts an opportunity to identify the election and review the ballot information posted for their specific polling area before election day. The materials also connect the county’s election information with Pennsylvania’s 2026 election calendar.

Precincts listed for Cranberry Township

Butler County lists Cranberry Township East 1, East 2 and East 3 among the participating precincts. The same information lists Cranberry Township West 1, West 2, West 3, West 4, West 5, West 6, West 7 and West 8.

Because the county’s listing is organized by precinct and tied to the 12th Legislative District, voters should check the designation that matches their registration rather than assume every township voter will use the same ballot. The county’s materials provide precinct-specific sample-ballot links for that purpose.

What voters can review

Sample ballots allow voters to see the ballot associated with their precinct ahead of the scheduled election. Reviewing the correct sample ballot can help voters confirm that they are looking at the information for Cranberry Township East 1, East 2 or East 3, or for one of the eight West precincts listed by the county.

The Butler County page identifies the election date as Aug. 18, 2026, and identifies the contest as a special election involving Pennsylvania’s 12th Legislative District. It also provides the connection to the Pennsylvania Department of State’s 2026 election calendar, giving voters a state-level calendar reference alongside the county’s local information.

Cranberry Township is a municipality in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The township’s public meetings and notices portal separately identifies the municipality and carries township public activity during July and August 2026.

The published information concerns a scheduled election and voter preparation. It is not a report of completed voting, and no winner or vote totals are established by the election materials. For voters in Cranberry Township East 1-3 or West 1-8, the next practical step is to locate the correct precinct-specific sample ballot and review the county’s posted election information before Aug. 18.
