Act 77
Act 77 is a law passed in Pennsylvania in 2020 that aimed to expand voting access. It allowed for no-excuse mail-in voting, meaning any registered voter could request a mail-in ballot without needing to provide a specific reason. This change was designed to make voting more convenient and accessible, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Act 77 included provisions for early in-person voting and updated the process for registering to vote. These measures were intended to streamline the voting process and encourage higher voter participation in elections across the state.
