An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in nomination of candidates, further providing for casting of lots for position of names upon the primary ballots or ballot labels and notice to candidates; in ballots, further providing for form of official election ballot and providing for order of candidates on the ballot; in voting machines, further providing for demonstration of voting machines; and, in Pennsylvania Election Law Advisory Board, providing for ballot order randomization study.

HB 735 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to change how candidate names are ordered on primary ballots for multi-county offices. It requires counties to list candidate order based on a rotation system: the top county by registered voters determines the initial order, and subsequent counties rotate the sequence (e.g., the first name in County A becomes last in County B). This aims to reduce potential bias from ballot position. The bill also directs the Pennsylvania Election Law Advisory Board to study ballot order randomization. It directly affects candidates running for statewide or multi-county offices and election boards implementing ballot design.
