Pa. moves to update 22-year-old elections, voter registration systems
The Department of State has selected a contractor to update the state’s 22-year-old voter registration system. Over the next three years, a technology company called Civix will modernize Pennsylvania’s voter registration, election-night reporting, lobbying disclosure and campaign finance systems.
“ We went into this new process by working hand in hand with our counties to make sure we're providing something that they could rely on that would be safe and secure and have no unnecessary delays,” said Secretary of State Al Schmidt.
Those four election-related systems are currently operating independently from each other, but the new system will bring them under one single interface, Schmidt said. Modern data management will also help with transparency and usability, including the type of data the state can pull, he added.
The contract is for $10.6 million over four years, with three optional one-year extensions. The vendor, Civix, deployed an election management system across seven states for the November 2024 election, according to a press release, which also states the company’s technology has been used in presidential elections since 1996.
