An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; in qualifications of electors, further providing for rules for determining residence; in voting by qualified absentee electors, further providing for qualified absentee electors and providing for voting by absentee electors in correctional institutions; and imposing duties on the Department of State.

This bill updates Pennsylvania election laws to allow specific groups of people to vote by absentee ballot and to register without a traditional street address. It grants absentee voting rights to individuals confined in correctional institutions for misdemeanors, pretrial confinement, or non-conviction custody, while explicitly excluding those in mental health facilities or convicted of felonies. The legislation also permits homeless voters to register using geographic descriptions like maps or coordinates instead of a physical address. Additionally, it requires the Department of State to work with correctional facilities to provide election information, designate staff to assist inmates with voting, and report on voter participation data within prisons.
