(WHTM) — Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt announced that Civix has been chosen to implement a comprehensive election management system for Pennsylvania.

The Shapiro Administration says the new system will provide a streamlined, one-stop-shop elections administration experience for the Department, county elections boards, candidates, political committees, and lobbyists.

The Administration says the updates will enhance the accuracy and security of Pennsylvania’s election system, as well as improve the registration, and ballot tracking experience for Pennsylvania voters.

“The Shapiro Administration prioritized procuring this contract as part of its continuing commitment to secure elections. A modern, streamlined election management system is a critical tool that our 67 county boards of elections need, and our voters expect,” Schmidt said. “We’re excited to work with Civix to customize and fully implement the new system by 2028.”

Pennsylvania joins a group of over 20 states with leaders from both parties—including Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Texas, and Connecticut—that have taken this step to promote election security, streamline election management, and increase accessibilty for people to these vital resources.

The Department has maintained the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system since 2003, which serves as the database for all 67 counties to ensure the accuracy and integrity of Pennsylvania’s voter registration rolls.
