Bill > SR162

This resolution designates the week of November 2 through 8, 2025, as "Election Official and Election Worker Appreciation Week" in Pennsylvania, formally recognizing the critical role that election officials and election workers play in maintaining the integrity of the democratic process. The resolution highlights the challenges these individuals face, including low recruitment, long work days, technological changes, and unwarranted criticism, while emphasizing their essential contributions to democracy—from judges of elections helping first-time voters at local precincts to county officials counting ballots and election boards managing complex electoral processes. By formally acknowledging these public servants, the Pennsylvania Senate seeks to extend its appreciation and admiration for election officials and election workers, recognizing them as "unsung heroes" who work tirelessly to protect the fundamental right of voting and maintain public confidence in election outcomes.
