The bill establishes a framework for early voting in Pennsylvania elections.

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

    ARTICLE XII-A EARLY VOTING IN ELECTIONS Section 1201-A. Conduct of early voting. (a) Authority to conduct.--Each county board shall provide for a period of early voting in elections as provided for in this article.

    This adds a new article to the Pennsylvania Election Code to mandate early voting.

  • (b) Issuance of ballots and voting booths.-- (1) If a request is made to vote early by a registered elector, the county board shall issue a ballot to the registered elector, except in districts where voting machines are used in accordance with Article XI, for in-person early voting.

    This provides regulations on how ballots for early voting will be issued.

  • (c) Maintenance of list.--The county board shall maintain a list of all registered electors in each election district who vote during the early voting period.

    This requires county boards to keep track of voters who participate in early voting.

  • Section 1202-A. Permanent polling places for early voting. (1) A county board may establish permanent polling places for in-person early voting at locations throughout the county in which the county board has jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, any school, county building or any other office or building owned or maintained by the county.

    This authorizes the establishment of permanent polling places for early voting.

  • Section 1203-A. Period for early voting. (a) Commencement and end of early voting.--The period for in-person early voting shall begin the 30th day preceding the date of an election and extend through the end of the day before election day.

    This defines the time frame during which early voting can occur.

  • Section 1205-A. Use of public buildings as polling places. Upon request by a county board, the governing body of a municipality shall make public buildings within the county available as permanent or temporary early voting polling places without charge.

    This allows counties to use public buildings for early voting polling places.

  • Section 1206-A. Publication of early voting locations and schedules. (a) Notice.--During the week immediately preceding the commencement of early voting and at least once each week during the period of early voting, the county board shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the county a schedule stating the location of each permanent and temporary early voting polling place.

    This mandates that counties publicly announce early voting locations and schedules.

  • Section 1207-A. List of polling places. At least 10 days before the commencement of early voting, each county board shall provide the Secretary of the Commonwealth with a list of all permanent and temporary early voting polling places and the hours each polling place will be open for early voting.

    This requires counties to submit a list of polling places to the Secretary of the Commonwealth before early voting starts.
