Pennsylvania Governor Signs Election Reform Bill

Act 77 introduces significant changes to Pennsylvania's election process, allowing mail voting up to 50 days before an election without requiring a reason. It also shortens the voter registration deadline to 15 days before an election. The act provides $90 million to help counties update voting systems. Governor Wolf supports the bill, emphasizing its role in making voting more accessible and secure. The law will be effective for the April primary but not the upcoming Tuesday election.
