This bill amends Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to introduce a preregistration process for individuals aged 16 to 17 who are eligible to vote. It defines "preregistrant" as a person at least 16 years old but not yet 18, and establishes "preregistration" as the process through which these individuals can submit their voter registration information prior to reaching voting age. The bill also mandates that the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system must include a code for tracking preregistration status and automatically activate the registration of preregistrants on their 18th birthday.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing eligibility requirements for voter registration, allowing preregistrants to register before they turn 18, while ensuring they cannot vote until they reach that age. It also updates the language in various sections to reflect these changes, including the cancellation of preregistration upon the death of a registrant. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
