An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in voting by qualified absentee electors, further providing for canvassing of official absentee ballots and mail-in ballots; and, in Election Integrity Grant Program, further providing for funding for elections.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Election Code to clarify procedures for absentee and mail-in voting, specifically defining a new "pre-canvass" stage where election officials inspect and prepare ballots for scanning without yet counting the votes. It also expands how voters can request absentee ballots by allowing them to apply in person at county offices on the day before an election, provided they submit their application before 5 p.m. Additionally, the legislation adjusts the timeline for challenging absentee ballot applications and mandates that election boards provide two nested envelopes for each official absentee ballot to ensure proper mailing. These changes directly affect county boards of elections, which must implement the new processes, and qualified electors who wish to vote by mail or absentee ballot.
