The Pennsylvania Department of State is very pleased with the initial response to its online voter registration system. The system launched Aug. 27 and more than 11,000 people already have used it to register or to update their registrations, including more than 550 people in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Pedro Cortés said Thursday. For state and county election officials, it reduces paperwork, and improves efficiency, he said.
For voters, it offers ease of use and security, he said. You type your information in directly, so there’s less chance of a clerk making a transcription error.
That’s expected to result in fewer errors and more accurate voter rolls, leading in turn to a smoother process and fewer delays on Election Day, he said.
