Bill Summary
An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in qualifications of electors, further providing for qualifications of electors at primaries; in party organization, further providing for only enrolled electors to vote at primaries or hold party offices; in nomination of candidates, further providing for candidates to be nominated and party officers to be elected at primaries; in preparation for and conduct of primaries and elections, further providing for manner of applying to vote and persons entitled to vote and voter's certificates and entries to be made in district register and numbered lists of voters and challenges; and making a related repeal.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to make several changes to the state's primary election process. It allows independent or nonparty voters to vote in the primary election of the party of their choice on the day of the primary, rather than requiring them to be registered and enrolled in that party. It also removes the requirement that only enrolled party members can vote in that party's primary or hold party offices. The bill applies these changes to primary elections taking place after December 31, 2018 and includes a related repeal.
