An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in district election officers, providing for master list of prospective clerks of election and for clerk of election vacancies and further providing for vacancies in election boards, appointment, judge and majority inspector to be members of majority party and minority inspector to be member of minority party.

HB 476 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to establish a public master list of qualified voters who could serve as election clerks and create a process for filling clerk vacancies. The bill requires county election boards to maintain an annual master list of registered voters (with addresses) for random selection to fill vacancies, with specific exemptions like active military service or breastfeeding. It also mandates that election board vacancies be filled by randomly selecting from the master list of qualified voters, while maintaining the existing requirement that judges and majority inspectors must be from the majority party and minority inspectors from the minority party. These changes aim to standardize clerk appointment procedures and ensure fair representation on election boards.
