Pennsylvania Election to Resume Maiden Name is a law that allows women who are registered to vote in Pennsylvania to resume their maiden name when voting in elections. This law enables them to be listed on the voter rolls with either their married name or their maiden name. This provides them an alternative to changing their name legally on all of their legal documents, which can be costly and time-consuming. There are two types of Pennsylvania Election to Resume Maiden Name: (1) Election Day Resumption, which allows a woman to use her maiden name when voting in an election on Election Day, and (2) Permanent Resumption, which allows a woman to permanently resume her maiden name and use it on all voting documents and registrations.
