AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to further provide for county boards of elections and their membership. Specifically, it prohibits members of county boards of elections from serving as state party officers, and defines "state party officer" as an individual elected by the state committee of a political party to serve in an officer or leadership role. The bill also provides that whenever a county commissioner is a candidate for public office or there is a ballot question related to a home rule charter, the president judge of the county's court of common pleas shall appoint judges or electors to serve on the board in their stead, and these appointees may not serve as state party officers.
