HB 981 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to voter registration, further providing for standardized forms and for applications; and, in voter registration, further providing for preparation and distribution of applications and providing for government service facilitation.

HB 981 standardizes Pennsylvania voter registration forms and creates a new process for sharing applicant information with state agencies. It requires election commissions to send voter registration details (name, residence/mailing addresses) to the Department of Transportation, Human Services, Revenue, and local governments within 30 days. The bill mandates that all registration forms include a notice explaining this data sharing, which agencies will use to verify residency and connect applicants with eligible services. This directly affects voters completing registration forms, election offices handling applications, and state/local agencies providing services tied to residency.
