The Election Services Office would like to inform you about some very significant changes to the Election Code.
Act 77 Makes Historic Changes to PA Election Code
On October 31, 2019, Governor Wolf signed Act 77 of 2019 into law. The Act is an historic election reform bill that makes the most significant improvements to Pennsylvania’s elections in more than 80 years. Act 77 allows more convenient and secure voting. Most voters can now vote by mail-in ballot, and voters will have more time to register to vote and to return their absentee or mail-in ballots. There are a number of other improvements, click on the following link to learn more: http://www.co.berks.pa.us/De…/Elections/Pages/Act%2077.aspx…
PA voters can skip the lines on election day. Voters have two options for mail ballots, mail-in voting and absentee voting. If the voter does not qualify for an absentee ballot, they can apply for a mail-in ballot without a reason.
