Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB647 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to allow county boards of elections to investigate voter registration status.

Pennsylvania HB647 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to expand the powers and duties of county boards of elections. Specifically, it allows these boards to enter into agreements with the unified judicial system to receive records of county residents who claim ineligibility for jury service due to lack of citizenship. The boards must then investigate the registration status of these individuals. This provision aims to ensure the integrity of voter rolls by cross-referencing with jury service records.
