An Act amending the act of June 3, 1937 (P.L.1333, No.320), known as the Pennsylvania Election Code, in provisions relating to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, further providing for powers and duties of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and for explanation of ballot question; and, in ballots, further providing for form of official election ballot.

This bill updates Pennsylvania election procedures by clarifying the Secretary of the Commonwealth's responsibilities and improving how voters receive information about ballot questions. It requires the Attorney General to create plain English explanations for statewide ballot questions and mandates that the Secretary of the Commonwealth include these explanations in official election materials. For debt-related ballot questions, the Office of the Budget must prepare detailed fiscal notes in plain English outlining project costs, interest, and future expenses, which must be posted online and in voting areas. The bill also standardizes how ballot questions and fiscal notes appear on official ballots, allowing them to be printed below candidate names in a brief format determined by the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
