Pennsylvania's Upgrade of Glitchy Voter Registration System Falls Further Behind Schedule
More than a year after the Pennsylvania Department of State canceled a contract to upgrade the state’s voter registration system, there’s still no replacement contract in place.
The state has been trying since 2019 to upgrade the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors, or SURE, a database of the state’s voters that was built in the early 2000s and still undergirds many of the functions of running elections.
Local election officials complain that the system is outdated, has a tendency to crash, and requires complex workarounds for some processes.
State officials had hoped to have a replacement contract for the upgrade in place months ago, but have not said what is holding it up.
