Acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State highlights changes for voters ahead of midterms

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Pennsylvania's top election official shared what's new for voters ahead of the November election on Tuesday.

So far, counties have received about 1.1 million requests for mail-in and absentee ballots, Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman said. Starting Tuesday, a spreadsheet will be shared daily with how many applications have been approved and returned.

All counties will also have to complete a post-election certification to confirm that the outcome of the contest is correct.

The state reiterates that despite a push for reform, county officials can only start to process ballots at 7 a.m. on election day.
