An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in voting by qualified absentee electors, further providing for canvassing of official absentee ballots and mail-in ballots; and, in Election Integrity Grant Program, further providing for funding for elections.

Summary

The bill changes Pennsylvania law so county election boards must hold a pre‑canvass meeting no earlier than seven days before an election, give 48‑hour public notice online, and allow one representative from each candidate and party to be present. It also requires counties receiving election‑integrity grants to begin continuous pre‑canvassing at 7 a.m. on election day until all timely‑received ballots are counted. The changes aim to increase transparency and consistency in handling absentee and mail‑in votes.
