Updates to Pennsylvania's Voting Laws
Pennsylvania has made strides in making elections more convenient and more secure for voters:
- Launching online voter registration : a system that allows eligible citizens to more easily register to vote and make updates to their voter records, such as a change of name, address, or party affiliation. Since its launch on August 27, 2015, more than 1.5 million Pennsylvanians have used the online service.
- Launching an online absentee ballot application : an application that allows registered voters to apply for an absentee ballot online. Nearly 23,300 voters submitted their absentee applications during the 2019 general election.
- Upgrading voting machines : all 67 Pennsylvania counties have taken official action toward acquiring new voting systems with advanced security and a paper trail. Through Act 77, counties will be reimbursed for up to 60 percent of their costs for the new voting systems.
