An Act amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in registration system, further providing for commission staff; in voter registration, further providing for residence of electors, for in-person voter registration, for application with driver's license application, for application by mail, for government agencies, for preparation and distribution of applications and for approval of registration applications; in records, further providing for district registers; in changes in records, repealing provisions relating to change of enrollment of political party; and, in penalties, further providing for preventing registration and for approval of registration.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's election laws to streamline voter registration processes and clarify rules for government employees. It allows individuals working for the federal or state government who must live away from their home municipality to remain registered at their previous address without needing to declare a new street address. The legislation also expands opportunities for in-person registration, permits voter registration applications to be submitted alongside driver's license requests, and requires government agencies to provide specific forms for voters with disabilities. Additionally, the bill modifies how vacancies in registrar positions are filled and removes certain provisions regarding changes to political party enrollment.
