Bill > HB669

This bill introduces a comprehensive early voting system for elections in Pennsylvania by amending the Pennsylvania Election Code. The legislation establishes that county election boards must provide early voting opportunities beginning 30 days before election day and continuing through the day before election day. Counties with populations over 250,000 must establish multiple permanent early voting polling places in their largest municipalities, with specific requirements based on population size. Early voting locations can include county buildings, schools, and other public facilities, which must be made available without charge and be accessible to voters with disabilities. Permanent polling places will have standardized hours, typically operating on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with additional weekend and holiday hours. County boards must publish and maintain a public schedule of early voting locations and times, including posting information in local newspapers and on their websites. The bill allows for both permanent and temporary polling places, with county boards having flexibility in establishing temporary locations. Registered voters can vote early at any designated polling place within their county, and county boards will maintain lists of early voters to be shared with election judges before election day. The legislation aims to increase voter accessibility and convenience by providing extended voting opportunities across different locations and times.
