An Act amending Title 25 (Elections) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in voter registration, further providing for application with driver's license application.
SB 445 requires Pennsylvania's Department of State to automatically notify individuals who applied for a driver's license before turning 18 about their voter registration eligibility when they reach age 18. It amends election law to mandate that the department maintain records of those ineligible to register due to age and send voting materials upon turning 18. This directly affects Pennsylvania residents who submit driver's license applications while underage. The bill creates a streamlined process to ensure eligible voters receive registration information at the appropriate age, without changing voter registration requirements.
