We have good news, John xxxxxx.

New legislation from Pennsylvania House Speaker Joanna McClinton (D-Philadelphia) will make it more convenient for hardworking Pennsylvania voters to fit casting a ballot into their busy schedules.

The proposed bill would change state voting rules allowing registered Pennsylvania voters to vote early in person during the two weeks leading up to Election Day. The legislation would also allow same-day voter registration at polling locations on Election Day.

Allowing voters to register and cast a ballot on Election Day will make voting more accessible AND improve election security.

We support Speaker McClinton’s Voting Access Legislation and so should you, your state rep, and state senator. Read the full memo here.
