Pennsylvania Lawmakers Appear Open to Cooperate on Election Reform
With a bipartisan bill introduced March 17 in the House of Representatives and more legislation expected this Spring, experts say conditions look favorable for long-anticipated improvements to Pennsylvania’s election code.
The code, enacted June 3, 1937, was last updated with Act 77, which allowed Pennsylvanians to vote by mail-in ballot for the first time in the 2020 primary and general elections.
Earlier this year in an interview with Votebeat Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt called for the General Assembly to prioritize unresolved issues with the application of Act 77 across the counties, and to bring about “greater uniformity” in the election process.
Stakeholders say lawmakers are responding.
