AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to change the timeline for the canvassing of absentee and mail-in ballots. The key provisions are: 1) The county board of elections must begin canvassing absentee and mail-in ballots immediately upon the close of polls on election day, rather than meeting no earlier than the close of polls and no later than the third day following the election. 2) The canvass process must continue through the eighth day following the election to include valid military-overseas ballots. 3) The county board must provide at least 48 hours' public notice of the canvass meeting. 4) One authorized representative of each candidate and each political party must be permitted to remain in the room during the canvass. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
