MEMORANDUM

Posted: February 27, 2023 12:27 PM
From: Representative David H. Zimmerman
To: All House members
Subject: Constitutional Amendment: Making the Secretary of the Commonwealth an Elected Position
 
I will soon be introducing legislation to propose an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution making the Secretary of the Commonwealth an elected position.  As issues regarding election administration become increasingly prominent in public debate, the ability of voters to directly elect Pennsylvania’s chief elections official could help improve public confidence in that individual.  It is time for Pennsylvania to join the 35 states that already elect this office.

Please join me in sponsoring this important legislation.
 


Introduced as HB547
