A Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, further providing for method of elections and secrecy in voting.
HB 258 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring all Pennsylvania elections to be conducted by in-person ballot at polling places, including early voting as permitted by law, while preserving voting secrecy. It would amend the state constitution to replace current language allowing for "other voting methods" with a specific mandate for in-person voting. The amendment must be approved by both chambers of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and then ratified by voters in the next qualifying election. If adopted, it would fundamentally change Pennsylvania’s election method by standardizing in-person voting as the primary process.
