Bill > SB510

This bill amends Pennsylvania's election laws to provide for voter preregistration. Key provisions include: 1. Defining "preregistrant" as a person at least 16 years old who is otherwise eligible to register to vote, and "preregistration" as the process of submitting voter registration information prior to being eligible to actively register at age 18. 2. Requiring the state's voter registration system (SURE) to contain a code to identify and track preregistration status and automatically activate a preregistrant's registration on their 18th birthday. 3. Allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to preregister to vote, though they cannot actually vote until they turn 18. 4. Updating government agency voter registration forms to include information about preregistration. 5. Requiring election commissions to promptly enter preregistration data into the SURE system and ensure preregistrants are actively registered by their 18th birthday. The bill aims to increase voter participation by allowing younger individuals to get a head start on the registration process.
