Pa. court rulings guarantee voters some recourse if they err on mail ballot In Washington County, officials chose not to notify voters that their ballots were being rejected. In a victory for voting rights groups, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled against that policy.

The court has ruled in favor of voting rights saying: “We must interpret the Election Code and its statutory procedures in a way that favors the fundamental right to vote and enfranchises, rather than disenfranchises, the electorate.” 🙌👏

Voting-rights groups announce national expansion to reach underrepresented communities The Voter Participation Center and the Center for Voter Information are expanding their work in an effort to get more eligible but unregistered Americans at the voting booth. BY KEELY QUINLAN AUGUST 21, 2025

Two nonprofit, nonpartisan voting-rights organizations are expanding their efforts to register more voters, using data from public and commercial sources to target their work. Over the next two months, the groups, the Voter Participation Center and the Center for Voter Information, said they will send voter registration applications to more than 4.7 million eligible but unregistered Americans. The groups told StateScoop they plan to conduct additional digital outreach and follow-up mailings leading into the 2026 midterm elections. The efforts will be focused on registering those often underrepresented in the voting process, such as people of color, young people and unmarried women.

Tom Lopach, the Voter Participation Center’s chief executive, said the groups’ expanded effort to register voters was deemed necessary in light of the Trump administration’s attacks on voting access. He said the expansion is also driven by work the center did comparing voter turnout data from the 2024 general election to monthly census numbers. “What we’ve noticed for a number of years is progress on voter registration in underrepresented communities has been somewhat stagnant, and that in 2024, voter turnout from the communities we serve — people of color, young people and unmarried women — have reduced compared to 2022 and to 2020,” Lopach said. “So, knowing that our goal is to create an even playing field and help underrepresented populations participate in our elections, we knew it was time to run our programs nationally.”

The news is out! The Voter Participation Center and our partner organization, the Center for Voter Information, will be expanding our mail voter registration program to reach underrepresented Americans nationwide 📬🗳🎉
