 Hello, I'm Pedro Cortez, Pennsylvania Secretary of State. The work of our agency has great impact on the daily lives of all Pennsylvanians, from ensuring the integrity of the electoral process to providing the document-filing infrastructure for business startups and economic development. The department also protects the health and safety of the public through licensing and oversight of nearly one million professional licensees, from doctors and nurses to accountants and real estate agents. In 2015, we made significant technological improvements to better serve all of the residents of our great state. We started by making registering to vote easier and more convenient through online voter registration. Since August, more than 55,000 Pennsylvanians have used register.votespa.com to register or update their records. That number continues to grow daily. Another new feature on Election Matters is our revamp election results website. The new site allows users to view results on mobile devices, customize searches and receive timely updates on election night. The public knows the department's state best for our work in elections, but we also house the Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations. In 2015, we launched the Statewide Organization Registration Database, also known as SWORD. This new system streamlines the corporate filing process for business owners and their agents. With SWORD, customers can opt to have their completed filing returned by email instead of regular mail. In this A&H, real-time access to information is a must. That's why our Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs unveil a new database where the public can find documents related to disciplinary actions filed against any of the Commonwealth professional licensees. The Department of State, along with Governor Wolf, is committed to innovation and greater transparency, both vital to a government that works. In 2016, we will continue working hard and very diligently to better serve you. Thank you.
