The bill establishes provisions for early in-person voting in Pennsylvania elections.

  • The act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320)

    ARTICLE XII-A EARLY IN-PERSON VOTING IN ELECTIONS Section 1201-A. Period for early in-person voting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this act, a county board shall provide for early in-person voting, which shall begin 30 days prior to the date of each election established under Article VI. The early in-person voting period shall continue through the end of the day before the date of the election established under Article VI.

    This adds a new article providing for early in-person voting in elections.

  • The act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320)

    Section 1202-A. Polling places for early in-person voting. (a) Designation.--A county board shall designate polling places for early in-person voting where electors may cast ballots during the early in-person voting period established under section 1201-A. The polling places may include the main office of the county board and any other site designated by the county board.

    This specifies that county boards must designate polling places for early in-person voting.

  • The act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320)

    Section 1203-A. Days and times for early in-person voting. A county board shall designate the days and hours that polling places designated for early in-person voting shall be open. The polling places shall: (1) Have uniform days and hours. (2) Be open eight hours each weekday. (3) Be open a minimum of an aggregate eight hours each weekend. (4) Not open prior to 7:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time. (5) Not close prior to 7:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.

    This mandates specific days and hours for early in-person voting polling places.

  • The act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320)

    Section 1205-A. Notice to Secretary of the Commonwealth. At least 10 days before the commencement of early in-person voting, each county board shall provide the Secretary of the Commonwealth with a list of all polling places designated for early in-person voting and the hours that each polling place will be open for early in-person voting.

    This requires county boards to notify the Secretary of the Commonwealth about early in-person voting details.

  • Section 1308(g)(1.1)

    [seven o'clock A.M. on] → fourteen (14) days before election day

    This changes the pre-canvass meeting time from seven A.M. to fourteen days before election day.
