AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's election law regarding the process of removing deceased voters from electoral registration rolls. Specifically, the bill changes the timeline for the Department of Health to report deaths to county election commissions from 60 days to seven days after receiving notice of a deceased individual who was 18 years or older. The shortened timeframe is intended to help ensure that voter registration records are updated more quickly and accurately after a person's death, which can help prevent potential voter fraud and maintain the integrity of voter registration lists. By requiring the Department of Health to promptly send the name and address of deceased individuals to election commissions within a week, the bill aims to streamline the process of removing deceased individuals from voter rolls. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
