AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to further provide for the canvassing (counting and processing) of absentee and mail-in ballots. It allows the county board of elections to start pre-canvassing (preliminary review) of absentee and mail-in ballots at least once before Election Day, rather than waiting until 7 AM on Election Day. The bill also requires the county board to provide at least 48 hours' public notice of any pre-canvass meeting, and allows one authorized representative of each candidate and political party to observe the pre-canvass process. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
