Foreign Students , Reede to Hold Panel Discussion ,VANIA State Group Studies Absentee Vote Bills The General Assembly in Harrisburg Thursday began study of five separate bills to permit absentee voting in Pennsylvania, the Associated Press reports. ' All would require an amendment to Pennsylvania’s 79-year-old Constitution. That procedure requires approval of, two separate legis latures as well as submission to the voters. Under the commonwealth’s present law only service men and women on active duty and vet erans in hospitals are eligible to cast a ballot without actually Vis iting the polls in their own voting district. The framers of the Con stitution included the provision to give the military all voting rights “as fully as if they were present at their usual places of election.” Three of the five bills provide for absentee voting rights for per sons “whose duties in connection with their occupation, business or attendance in - educational insti tutions require them to be else where within the United States.” A fourth bill would cover those persons “physically unable to at tend the polls,” while the final measure would apply only to per sons who had moved within the two-month period between the registration deadline and the election. Supporters of absentee voting contend that many students, sales men, government workers and in valids do not get to vote or must suffer undue hardship to reach the polls. Opponents claim wider absentee voting would put too heavy a burden on local election boards. Similar voting bills previously introduced have failed to pass both houses. Eight died in com mittee during the 1951 sessions alone.
