Pennsylvania SB705 amends mail-in ballot application rules and establishes a permanent mail-in voting list.
Pennsylvania SB705 amends the state's election code to restrict who can send mail-in ballot applications to voters, allowing only the Department of State or the county board of elections in the voter's county to do so. It also allows qualified electors to request permanent mail-in voter status. The Secretary of the Commonwealth can develop an electronic system for these applications, provided it captures a digitized or electronic signature. The bill also mandates that mail-in ballot applications be sent to eligible voters by early February each year.
