HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania is spending more than $10 million to replace its electronic voter registration database with an election management system. Under a contract announced Wednesday, a new system is being developed that will also provide election night results and handle campaign finance filings and lobbyist registration. Secretary of State Al Schmidt announced the Civix system should be fully in use by the time of the next presidential election in 2028. It will replace the existing Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors, often called the SURE system. State officials say the Civix system’s functions for public use will provide information about voter registration, coming elections and voting data.
