(PN
3292) Amends the Pennsylvania Election Code further providing for the
functions of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, for the functions of county
boards of elections, for the functions of district election boards, for the
place and time of filing nomination papers, for objections to nomination
petitions; providing for list of all nominated candidates to the public;
further providing for instruction cards and supplies, for official absentee
ballot applications, for approval of absentee ballot applications, for
absentee elector files, for delivering ballots, for absentee voting, for
canvassing official absentee ballots, for public records, for computation
of returns and for reporting; and providing for misleading mailings and for
unlawful interference with voter registration. Also allows an individual
who otherwise meets the requirements to register who will be at least 18
years of age on the day of the next general or municipal election to
register and vote in the corresponding primary. Provides that if a county
fails to send the Secretary of the Commonwealth the notice setting forth
all candidates for all offices appearing on the ballot in that primary or
general election for that county at least ten days prior to the applicable
deadline, the secretary would withhold any reimbursements or payments owed
to the county until such time the secretary receives the notice. The bill
also provides that if an electronic voting system is of a type that uses
paper ballots or ballot cards to register the vote and automatic tabulating
equipment to compute such vote, permits each voter, at other than primary
elections, to vote a straight political party ticket by one mark or act
and, by one mark or act, to vote for all the candidates of one political
party for presidential electors; and by one mark or act, to vote for all
the candidates of one political party for very office to be voted for, and
every such mark or act would be equivalent to and be counted as a vote for
every candidate of the political party so marked including its candidates for
presidential elector except with respect to those offices as to which the
voter has registered a vote for individual candidates of the same or
another political party or political body, in which case the automatic
tabulating equipment would credit the vote for that office only for the
candidate individually so selected, notwithstanding the fact that the voter
may not have individually voted for the full number of candidates for that
office for which he was entitled to vote. In addition, no electronic voter
system would be approved by the Secretary of the Commonwealth unless it is
established that the system is of the type that registers the vote
electronically, permits each voter, at other than primary elections, to
vote a straight party ticket in one operation. (Prior Printer Number: 592,
