THE BOARDOECOMMISSIONERS RESPONSE  Commissioner Irey Vaughan addressed the issue raised by Fern Sibert ands said the Board does not  have the authority toi increasel littering fines, because this is a state legislative responsibility.    THESOLICITORS) RESPONSE November ballot as follows:  Solicitor Grimm addressed the legality of the question to eliminate electronic voting machines on the First, the law clearly prohibits referenda regarding whether to use electronic voting systems. The Pennsylvania Supreme Courti int the case of Kugnik u. Westmoreland Counly Board of Commissioners! heldt that conditioning the use of electronic voting systems ont the result ofa referendum was barred byt the federal law known as thel Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires the adoption of electronic voting systems. Specifically, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined that holding such a referendum "would directly impede the goals of the HAVA legislation, including and most importantly accessibility for disabled voters." Accordingly, the Court held that HAVA preempts the referendum requirements of Article XI-A of thel PA election code. The Court also concluded that two separate systems of voting- with a HAVA- compliant system for federal elections and a separate mechanical: lever system for municipal elections - violates the unitary voting requirements of Pennsylvania law and undermined thei improved voter access requirements found in HAVA. In essence, counties are required to usel the same system for both general and Because the referendum provision of 251 P.S. S3 3031:41 has been preempted by federal law, any referendum conducted under this provision would serveno legal purpose andwould therefore be nonbinding and advisory only. The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has held that boards of election lackt thel legal authority to place nonbinding referendum questions onballots. In the case of Hempfeld. Schooll Districu.

Thus, the Kunik and Hempfieldo cases make clear that Board of Elections, should reject any petition requesting placémentofs a referendumwhere that petition relies ont the statutory  municipal elections.  authority for referenda found at 25P.S.
