The state\u2019s 67 county boards of elections maintain voter registration records through the system and conduct list maintenance throughout the year using information including death records, U.S. Postal Service change-of-address data and interstate registration information.<\/p>\n<p>Users can view registration totals by political party, county and district, as well as year-to-date changes in registration at the statewide, county and district levels. The dashboard will be updated on the first business day of each week, according to a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said the tool is intended to give Pennsylvanians a clearer picture of how the rolls change as residents register, move, die or update their information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPublishing this information on a continuing basis is part of our ongoing commitment to providing the public with important data and giving them a clear and transparent view of how Pennsylvania\u2019s voter registration rolls change over time,\u201d Schmidt said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/dos\/newsroom\/dos-launches-new-voter-registration-dashboard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the press release.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The dashboard is the latest effort by Pennsylvania election officials to expand public access to election data and provide voters with more information about how elections are administered. The state also provides <a href=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/philadelphia-campaign-finance-dashboard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">online election resources<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/new-election-result-website-pennsylvania-primary-2024\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tools<\/a> aimed at countering misinformation and explaining election procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The new tool arrives as election officials face continued scrutiny over voter registration rolls and list maintenance by the Trump administration. Trump issued an executive order in March instructing the Department of Homeland Security to compile \u201ccitizenship lists,\u201d and filed 31 lawsuits against states that have not complied. Twenty-three of those lawsuits have been dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787594413_36_sophiafox.jpg\" alt=\"Sophia Fox-Sowell\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tWritten by Sophia Fox-Sowell<br \/>\n\t\t\tSophia Fox-Sowell reports on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and government regulation for StateScoop.
