§ § 6Election and registration laws

All laws regulating the holding of elections by the citizens,
or for the registration of electors, shall be uniform throughout
the State, except that laws regulating and requiring the
registration of electors may be enacted to apply to cities only,
provided that such laws be uniform for cities of the same class,
and except further, that the General Assembly shall by general
law, permit the use of voting machines, or other mechanical
devices for registering or recording and computing the vote,
at all elections or primaries, in any county, city, borough,
incorporated town or township of the Commonwealth, at the option
of the electors of such county, city, borough, incorporated
town or township, without being obliged to require the use of
such voting machines or mechanical devices in any other county,
city, borough, incorporated town or township, under such
regulations with reference thereto as the General Assembly may
from time to time prescribe. The General Assembly may, from
time to time, prescribe the number and duties of election
officers in any political subdivision of the Commonwealth in
which voting machines or other mechanical devices authorized
by this section may be used.
