SB 555 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in district election officers, further providing for oath of judge of election, for oaths of inspectors of election, for oaths of clerks of election and for oath of machine inspectors.

SB 555 amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to update the sworn statements (oaths) required for election workers. It revises the exact wording for judges of election, election inspectors, election clerks, and machine inspectors, adding specific language about ensuring registered voters can cast ballots. The changes clarify clerks' duties to "carefully and truly record votes" and direct eligibility questions to judges of election. This is a technical update to existing oath requirements, not a substantive policy change affecting election procedures or voter rights. The bill focuses solely on standardizing the language these officials must swear to uphold election integrity.
