AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to require the county board of elections in a county of the first class to provide an additional polling place in the county prison for individuals registering their residence at the prison. The bill also further clarifies the definition of "residence of electors" for the purpose of voter registration and voting, specifying that certain individuals, such as veterans residing in a home for disabled and indigent soldiers and sailors, and individuals incarcerated in a county prison in a county of the first class who are awaiting trial or sentencing or serving a sentence for a misdemeanor or summary offense, may elect to use that location as their registered residence for voting purposes or choose to vote as absentee electors.
