Bill Summary

Amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in changes in records, providing for interstate voter registration cross-check; and, in provisions contingent on Federal law, further providing for removal of electors.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Election Code to establish an "interstate voter registration cross-check" system. The key provisions are: 1) The Department of State shall cooperate with other states to develop systems to compare voter registration records and identify individuals who: (i) have changed addresses, (ii) have been convicted of a felony, or (iii) are registered to vote in more than one state or jurisdiction. 2) The Department may contract with a private sector data system to help identify registered electors who have changed addresses, are registered in multiple states, are deceased, or are ineligible for other reasons (such as a felony conviction). 3) The Department must notify county election commissions of any individuals identified as ineligible, and the commissions must then initiate the process to remove those individuals from the voter rolls within 10 days. The bill aims to maintain accurate statewide voter registration lists and prevent duplicate registrations across state lines.
