Pennsylvania HB771 amends voter identification requirements and absentee ballot procedures.

Pennsylvania HB771 amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to redefine "proof of identification" and update procedures for absentee and mail-in ballots.

The bill mandates that county boards of elections notify voters within 24 hours if their identification is missing or unverified, providing instructions to submit valid identification.
