EAIElectoral Access Index

§ 405 codifies vacancy-filling for election boards with statutory party balance: judge of election from majority party, one inspector from each party.

PA Const. Art. VII § 1 codifies the qualifications of electors: U.S. citizenship for one month, 90-day state residence, 60-day election-district residence. Age 21 was constitutionally amended to 18 by Amendment XXVI; constitutional framing of qualifications.

“Every citizen 21 years of age, possessing the following qualifications, shall be entitled to vote”

§ 1852 codifies statutory disfranchisement for 4 years upon conviction of willful Act violation, with immediate cancellation of registration card. Defined duration (4 years) implies automatic restoration after expiry — statute + statutory restoration.

No matching sections in corpus (FTS returned 0 candidates) — concept not codified in this jurisdiction's election statute.

§ 206 codifies the ID-requirements framework in statute: SoS disseminates ID-requirement information; PennDOT issues a free identification card to electors who lack ID. Codified ID framework with free-ID provision.

“the Department of Transportation shall issue an identification card described in 75 Pa.C.S. § 1510(b) at no cost”

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 1231 codifies registration deadline; not ID enumeration.

§ 206 explicitly codifies free state-issued ID: 'the Department of Transportation shall issue an identification card... at no cost to any registered elector who has made application therefor and has included with the completed application a statement signed by the elector declaring under oath or affirmation that the elector does not possess proof of identification.'

§ 1210(a.2) codifies the at-polls cure procedure: an elector unable to produce ID (indigent / any other grounds) or whose ID is challenged by the judge of election 'shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot' with statutory cure path.

“If any of the following apply, the elector shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot”

§ 1210 codifies provisional-ballot cure for ID-rejected electors but does not enumerate a separate appeal procedure for the ID rejection itself.

§ 1231(b) codifies the 15-day pre-election registration deadline: 'In the case of voter registration with a motor vehicle driver's license application... if the valid voter registration application is received by the appropriate commission not later than fifteen days before the election' (similar 15-day rule for agency/in-person/mail). Statutory deadline.

“received by the appropriate commission not later than fifteen days before the election”

§ 1321 codifies the enumerated registration methods: in-person (§ 1322), driver's-license application (§ 1323), by mail (§ 1324), at government agencies (§ 1325). Exhaustive statutory enumeration.

“An individual qualified to register to vote under section 1301(a)”

§ 1508 codifies pre-election 'comparison and correction of registers' (starting 30 days before election) — the cure path for register errors.

§ 1329 codifies challenge procedure: any individual may be challenged by a commissioner/registrar/clerk or by another qualified elector via a sworn affidavit. The challenged individual must respond in writing with evidence — defined procedure to contest registration. Note: this codifies CHALLENGE PROCESS (others challenging the voter), which when combined with § 1233 right of appeal codifies the elector's contestation framework.

“An individual claiming the right to be registered may be challenged by a commissioner”

§ 1901 codifies enumerated removal criteria (request, death under § 1505, residence change outside county, NVRA-compliant voter removal program). Statutory grounding for roll maintenance. No constitutional grounding visible — score 1 (statute only).

“Commissions shall institute a program to protect the integrity of the electoral process”

§ 1901 codifies the voter removal program under NVRA, which mandates pre-removal confirmation notice with opportunity to cure (NVRA-compliance requirement).

§ 1309 codifies that absentee-ballot files are public records with 2-year retention BUT 'no proof of identification shall be made public, nor shall information concerning a military elector be made public which is expressly forbidden by the Department of Defense because of military security' — partial security/confidentiality codification.

No section in the FTS-surfaced candidates satisfies this criterion. Best signal: § 1327 codifies voter-registration application form contents; not multilingual ballot triggers.

§ 1504 codifies the eligibility framework for assistance based on blindness/disability/illiteracy with registration-card declaration procedure and termination of authorization when no longer needed.

“If a registered elector by reason of blindness, disability or inability to read or write”

§ 1504 codifies assistance for 'inability to read or write' alongside blindness/disability — illiteracy expressly included.

§ 1209 codifies opening-of-polls procedure (ballot-box opening, posting of instructions, seal-breaking) but the surfaced text does not include the statutory opening/closing hours (per PA § 1208, hours are 7 a.m.–8 p.m., not surfaced in this candidate set).

§ 1305 codifies the absentee/mail-in ballot delivery procedure: county BOE delivers/mails absentee ballots not later than 50 days prior to primary or 70/45 days prior to election depending on elector type, with 48-hour delivery rule for late applications.

§ 1302 codifies absentee-ballot application contents and process: home residence, citizenship duration, residency, date of birth, voting district, nature of employment, address to which ballot is sent.

§ 1210(a.2) codifies the provisional ballot right for electors unable to produce ID (indigent / any other grounds) or whose ID is challenged.
