An Act amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to voter registration, further providing for definitions; in registration system, further providing for SURE system; in voter registration, further providing for qualifications to register, for government agencies, for time and for preparation and distribution of applications; and, in changes in records, further providing for death of registrant.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to introduce a "preregistration" process, allowing individuals aged 16 and 17 to submit voter registration information and be automatically registered to vote on their 18th birthday. It also makes changes to the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system to enable identification and tracking of preregistration status, and requires the Department of Health to notify election commissions of the death of individuals aged 16 and older for the purposes of updating voter registration records. The bill aims to increase voter participation by allowing for earlier engagement in the electoral process.
