An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in preparation for and conduct of primaries and elections, further providing for assistance in voting.
HB 267 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to allow voters with disabilities preventing them from entering polling places to vote from their vehicles. It directly affects voters who are blind, disabled, or unable to physically access voting locations due to conditions like blindness, disease, or mobility issues. The bill requires two election officers from different political parties to provide ballots at the polling place entrance or curb, permits voters to mark ballots and hand them to officers for deposit, and mandates documentation of assisted voting. It also allows voters without disability records on their registration to provide evidence of their condition per Secretary of the Commonwealth guidelines. The changes aim to improve accessibility while maintaining election integrity through specific procedural safeguards.
