AI Summary
This bill establishes the Election Fellowship Pilot Program, which aims to provide eligible individuals with hands-on experience in managing and administering elections. The program will be implemented by the Department of State and selected counties, with the department randomly choosing two counties from each class (third through eighth) to participate. Eligible individuals must be Pennsylvania residents and at least 18 years old by the start of their participation. Participating counties will recruit and select fellows, and collaborate with the department to define their duties, which will focus on election management and administration. While counties may compensate fellows, the amount is determined by the county. The pilot program will run for three years, starting on August 1st of the year following the appropriation of funds, and will conclude with a report evaluating its outcomes and recommending whether it should be expanded statewide.
