PHILADELPHIA – Following the passage of House Bill 1396 in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Tuesday, All Voting is Local Pennsylvania State Director Deborah Hinchey released the following statement:
“This legislation is what Pennsylvania’s elections need to get up to speed in the 21st century while ensuring voters have more ways to access the ballot. House Bill 1396 would give our voters more of the options they want when it comes to casting their ballots. Voting early in person and having drop boxes in every county are popular voting options that Pennsylvanians deserve.
“Importantly, the bill would also modernize the technological aspects of election administration, making the system safer while reducing headaches for our election workers. This is a great example of an election bill where everyone wins, especially Pennsylvania voters.”
