An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in preliminary provisions, providing for designation of Election Day as legal holiday; and, in election districts and polling places, further providing for public buildings to be used where possible and portable polling places.

HB 1158 designates Election Day (the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November) as a legal holiday in Pennsylvania, meaning state offices and many businesses would close. It also requires county election boards to prioritize using public buildings like schools and municipal offices for polling places whenever possible, rather than private locations. If public buildings aren't available, the bill allows for portable polling places or selecting adjacent public buildings that are directly accessible. This bill directly affects all Pennsylvania voters and election officials managing polling locations.
