Department of State Launches 2026-27 Governor's Civic Engagement Award Program on National Voter Registration Day
September 15, 2026
Harrisburg, PA - The Department of State launched the 2026-27 Governor's Civic Engagement Award (GCEA) program for Pennsylvania high school students today on National Voter Registration Day.
"What better way to celebrate National Voter Registration Day than by highlighting a program that encourages young people to learn about and engage their peersin our electoral system," Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said. "Since the GCEA program started nine years ago, high school students across Pennsylvania have helped about 33,000 of their eligible classmates to register to vote."
The Departments of State and Education began the GCEA program in the 2017-18 school year. Pennsylvania high schools that register at least 85% of their eligible students receive Gold Awards, and schools that register at least 65% of their eligible students receive Silver Awards. In addition, students who participate in a voter registration drive at their school and serve as poll workers during the November general election earn Student Poll Worker Awards.
"The best education prepares learners for success in civic life. The more we teach the next generation about the power they can exercise at the ballot box, the more we can expect a bright future for everyone in Pennsylvania. I encourage school leaders across the Commonwealth to make opportunities available for their eligible students to register to vote," said Secretary of Education Dr. Carrie Rowe.
To be eligible to register to vote, students must be U.S. citizens, residents of the voting district for at least 30 days, and at least 18 years old (or 17 years old and will be 18 on or before the next election). To serve as poll workers, students must be at least 17 years old and obtain permission from their principal and parent/guardian.
To launch this school year's GCEA program, the Department of State held a virtual presentation for county election officials and high school faculty and students. GCEA faculty advisor Lynda Hauman and 2025-26 student poll worker winner Liam Hynes from Delta High School in Centre County spoke about best practices for organizing voter registration events. Delta High School is a repeat Gold Level Award winner and, last school year, was one of only two high schools in the history of the GCEA program to register 100% of their eligible students.
"As a social studies teacher, participating in the program aligns with my ultimate goal as an educator - to prepare students for their future lives," Hauman said. "By ensuring that eligible students are registered to vote, they face one less barrier to participation in our democracy as adults. With motivated teachers, departments, and student leaders, I hope other schools can find success through this program."
Hynes graduated from Delta High School in June and attends Penn State University, where he plans to pursue a double major in philosophy and secondary education social studies.
"An opportunity to be a student poll worker felt like the moment to start engaging in this big picture system, and the experience was incredibly formative," Hynes said. "I saw people of different backgrounds and beliefs coalesce into something bigger than themselves. The combined force of excellent poll workers and voters made sure that everyone had the equal chance to take part in our beautiful tradition of representation."

Sec. Schmidt discussed the GCEA program and National Voter Registration Day in today's weekly media briefing (https://pacast.com/m?p=29933).

AUGUSTA -- Sen. Henry Ingwersen, D-Arundel, is pleased to announce that municipalities and service providers across Senate District32 are recipients of a Community Action Grant award from the Community Resilience Partnership. The Partnership, administered by the Maine Office of Community Affairs, helps Maine communities transition to clean energy and become more resilient to climate effects, including severe storms and flooding.
The below projects in Senate District 32 were included in this round of Community Action Grant awards:
* Biddeford: $72,000 for energy audits of Biddeford municipal buildings. These audits will establish a baseline for building energy use and seek recommendations to reduce energy consumption.
* Biddeford: $47,500 for York County Emergency Management Agency to conduct a Community Vulnerability Assessment.
* Dayton: $43,000 for public green space and stormwater improvements.
* Dayton, Lyman: $45,000 for the York County Soil and Water Conservation District to help the Towns of Dayton and Lyman enroll in the Community Resilience Partnership.
* Hollis: $78,584 for the Town of Hollis Waste Diversion Initiative.
* Hollis: $37,043.63 for the Hollis Heat Pump Installation and Emergency Center Supply Project.
"I am excited to see this many Community Action Grants awarded to municipalities and service providers across the district," said Sen. Ingwersen. "Taken together, these grants and projects will greatly enhance our climate resilience in the region. The time to prepare for more extreme weather is now, before the next big flood or storm, and these critical investments help us do just that."
The most recent round of grant funding, awarded earlier this month, is the second set this year and seventh overall. It will support projects in 72 communities with $4.7 million in total awards. A complete list of awardees is available through the Maine Office of Community Affairs. The previous round, which was announced in May of this year, supported projects in 76 Maine communities with over $5 million awarded. A complete list of those awardees is available here.
Funding for the grants comes from several sources, including measures passed by the Maine Legislature with Sen. Ingwersen's support:
* The Supplemental Budget that was passed by the Legislature in 2024 to increase community resilience and preparedness in the wake of the December 2023 and January 2024 storms;
* Funds from the biennial budget authorized by the Legislature in 2023; and
* A federal grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Sen. Henry Ingwersen is currently serving his second term in the Maine Senate. He is the Senate chair of the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee. He also serves on the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee. Sen. Ingwersen represents Senate District 32, which includes Arundel, Biddeford, Dayton, Hollis and Lyman.

US Supreme Court Upholds Right to Vote by Mail
AUGUSTA, MAINE - Absentee voting by mail will continue just as it has in prior elections, announced Secretary of State Shenna Bellows today. The US Supreme Court rejected the US Postal Service and Trump Administration's quest to change the rules for mailed ballots. States including the State of Maine had filed a lawsuit to challenge the Trump Executive Order and US Postal Service rule that would have dramatically limited the ability of clerks to mailballots to voters. A lower court blocked the rule on constitutional grounds, and the US Supreme Court denied the Trump Administration's attempt to overturn the lower court.
"This is good news for voters and for democracy. Voters can rest assured that they have all of the same options for absentee voting including receiving and returning their ballot by mail that they have had in every other election," said Secretary of State Shenna Bellows. "We know that many Mainers - particularly seniors and people with disabilities - appreciate the convenience of voting from home, and we are thrilled that our joint legal efforts with states across the country to protect the right to vote by mail have succeeded."
Voters can request absentee ballots utilizing the Secretary of State's online absentee ballot portal, in writing, or by calling their municipal clerk directly. Absentee voting in Maine begins October 5, and voters should start receiving their ballots in the mail in the first week of October. Voters can track the status of their absentee ballot via Maine's online absentee ballot tracking portal.

Dear Chairwoman Stepney and Administrator McMath:
Major water users, including data centers, appearto have committed civil and criminal violations by failing to provide the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) with information about water usage as required by the Texas Water Code. I direct TWDB to use its statutory authority to compel major water users to comply with water use reporting requirements and to impose legal consequences for past and future failure to comply with state law. To aid that effort, I direct you to partner with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) on its upcoming audit of data centers to seek additional water use information.
TWDB is assigned the task of developing a state water plan that meets the needs of all Texans, both today and for years to come. TEX. WATER CODE Sec.Sec. 6.011-6.012. TWDB cannot perform that task if it is denied the detailed information necessary to assess both existing and anticipated water consumption across Texas. That is why state law obligates entities to respond to a TWDB survey that provides state and regional planners with complete and accurate information. TEX. WATER CODE Sec. 16.012(m) ("Recipients of the survey shall complete and return the survey to the executive administrator."). For the Calendar Year 2025 survey, responses were due on March 1, 2026.
Texas law provides serious consequences for failure to comply with that obligation. "A person who fails to complete and return the survey commits an offense" punishable as a crime. TEX. WATER CODE Sec. 16.012(m); see TEX. PENAL CODE Sec.Sec. 12.03(a)(3), 12.23. Additionally, "[a] person who fails to timely complete and return the survey . . . is ineligible to obtain permits, permit amendments, or permit renewals from" the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for any permit under Chapter 11 of the Texas Water Code. TEX. WATER CODE Sec. 16.012(m); see id. Sec.Sec. 11.001-11.561. TWDB must enforce these remedies against offending data centers, including referring violations to the appropriate County or District Attorney and informing TCEQ for possible permit disqualification.
In carrying out its mission, TWDB is authorized to partner with sister agencies. On August 3, 2026, I directed the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and ERCOT to conduct a comprehensive audit of all data centers advancing through ERCOT's interconnection process. That audit requires data centers to provide, among other things, detailed information about their water consumption, sources of water supply, and implementation of water-efficient technologies. Because failure to provide such information "hinders [PUC and ERCOT's] ability to make fully informed decisions," I directed that any data center project that fails to complete the audit process must be denied interconnection.
TWDB's water use surveys serve a similarly important purpose as this data center audit. TWDB must coordinate with PUC and ERCOT to ensure that covered entities provide critical water use information in response. Because TWDB may conduct surveys "in cooperation with other entities of the state" and "[a]ll entities of the state . . . shall cooperate" with TWDB in collecting or using such water data, TEX. WATER CODE Sec. 16.012(a), (d), TWDB must partner with ERCOT to audit water consumption, sources of water supply, and implementation of water-efficient technologies. Any failure to respond to the audit's request for water use information would trigger TWDB's independent enforcement authority.
TWDB shall provide an initial update to my office in 30 days concerning the progress of its enforcement activities. TWDB shall continue to update my office thereafter, including when the audit is completed. Thank you for your continued service to Texas and your work to protect our State's natural resources and communities.
Sincerely,
Greg Abbott, Governor

AG Jennings issues statement following Supreme Court victory on mail-in voting
Date Posted: Tuesday, September 15, 2026
Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court siding with her and her co-plaintiffs and refusing to allow the Trump Administration's proposed takeover of mail-in voting from going into effect:
"This attempt by the Trump Administration to interfere with mail voting for our midterm elections is over.
Inspite of what this Administration has repeatedly claimed, this proposed rule was never about election security - it was an attempt to create confusion and unjustified distrust in our elections and to suppress the vote. This President, facing crises of his own making on multiple fronts and terrified of losing his grip on power, tried to manipulate our elections process for his own political benefit.
The constitution is as clear as day here: it is the states - and states alone - who have the authority and prerogative to administer elections and make decisions about how they should be carried out - and going forward, it is the states who will continue to ensure that our elections are protected from unlawful interference. Mail voting continues to be a safe and secure way to cast your ballot, and I encourage all eligible Delawareans to make a plan to vote for this year's midterm elections in November.
While this victory is monumental, we can't afford to ease up on our vigilance now. My fellow Attorneys General and I will continue to monitor and assess any attempts by the Trump Administration to meddle with our elections. Should the need arise, we will not hesitate to jump into action again."

September 10, 2026 Open Meeting Highlights
Phoenix, Ariz. -- The Arizona Corporation Commission voted on 23 matters, including securities, telecommunications, utilities, water and ACC Rulemaking. Highlights from the meeting include:
Utilities:
* Arizona Public Service Company
* Trico Electric Cooperative, Inc.
* Voyager at White Mountain Lakes Water Company, Inc. and Silver Creek Water Company
* Bermuda Water Company, Inc.
* Rainbow Parks, Inc. D/B/A Escapees at North Ranch
ArizonaPublic Service Company (L-00000D-11-0389-00163) - The Commission voted 3-2 (with Chair Nick Myers and Commissioner Kevin Thompson dissenting) granting Arizona Public Service Company's request to extend the term for an additional 15 years for the construction of the Orchard Yucca 230 kilovolt ("kV") lines, described as Phase 2 in a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility approved in 2012 (CEC 163). During the hearing, a Yuma farmer provided testimony in opposition to the location of the transmission line location and potential implications impacting their family farm. APS emphasized that this is phase two of a larger transmission project originally noticed in 2012, and is part of the Company's long-term planning to serve future growth in west Yuma County.
Trico Electric Cooperative, Inc. (E-01461A-26-0181)- The Commission granted Trico's request to secure long-term debt financing for the construction of a fiber network extension of its Smart Grid Fiber communications network, which would allow Trico to provide broadband fiber internet service to its members. Trico also received a $19 million grant from Arizona's Broadband Equity, Access & Deployment (BEAD) Program. Trico currently provides electric service to over 50,000 Member customers; so far, more than 10,000 members have pre-subscribed for the new fiber internet service. Trico would be the service provider and manage its electric smart grid by using the fiber. The Company would have separate internal divisions for its electric and fiber internet businesses, with the fiber internet division making lease payments to its electric division for use of the fiber. Commissioners expressed concern about the company's venture into providing fiber internet services and using its electricity generation assets as collateral. The Commission approved Vice Chair Rachel Walden's amendment of the financing application requiring Trico to study, develop, and submit its ring-fencing structure and procedures to the Commission for approval to protect the assets of Trico and prevent subsidization, the amendment also extends the debt authorization period from four years to ten.
Voyager at White Mountain Lakes Water Company, Inc. and Silver Creek Water Company (W-01983A-26-0051 and W-21391A-26- 0051)- The Commission unanimously approved the sale of assets from Voyager to Silver Creek Water Company for a purchase price of $1.1 million. Voyager serves about 740 customers in White Mountain Lake, in rural Navajo County. The company has a history of non-compliance with the Commission, Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR), and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Its former owner passed away unexpectedly. The Commission acknowledged those who stepped up and managed the water utility to maintain services and ultimately find a new owner for the company.
Bermuda Water Company, Inc. (W-01812A-25-0166) - The Commission voted 3-2 (with Vice Chair Rachel Walden and Commissioner Thompson dissenting) on an amended Recommended Opinion and Order (ROO) in the Bermuda Water Company, Inc. rate case. Bermuda provides water service to approximately 9,460 residential customers and about 530 commercial customers located in Mohave County, including a portion of Bullhead City, Fort Mohave Mesa, and the northern portion of the Mohave Valley. Bermuda's parent company is Nexus Water Group, Inc. The parties reached a settlement agreement, including the annual rate adjustment mechanism. In the Decision, the Commission approved an annual rate adjustment mechanism. The Company and Staff expressed opinions that differed from parts of the Administrative Law Judge's recommended order and opinion. Bermuda offered several amendments, two of which were adopted by the Commission, each by a vote of 3-2. The monthly bill impact for the typical residential customer is a nominal increase of approximately 15 cents, from about $32.66 a month, to $32.81 a month. The ROO, however, differs vastly from the settlement agreement in that it proposed different values for the basis-point adjustment which accounts for the risk associated with the adoption of the ARAM, and the capital structure which together have resulted in a decrease for ratepayers. The monthly bill impact proposed by the ROO would have reduced monthly bills by approximately 41 cents per month. The Commissioners discussed their opinions at length. Ultimately, the Commission narrowly adopted two amendments to the ROO that result in an outcome that is closer to the figures the parties agreed to in the Settlement Agreement but still results in a slight decrease for rate payers.
Rainbow Parks, inc. D/B/A Escapees at North Ranch (WS-03448A-26-0058 and W-03448A-26-0059) - The Commission voted unanimously to approve Rainbow Parks' rate case, the first rate case for the Company since 1999. Rainbow Parks provides water and wastewater services to approximately 430 residential customers in a Recreational Vehicle (RV) development in Yavapai County. The Company's current rates were established in 1999. The monthly bill impact for residential customers for water services would result in an increase of approximately $5.67, bringing the average monthly bill up to about $19.58. The monthly bill impact for wastewater services for residential customers would result in an increase of roughly $16.00 a month, bringing the monthly bill to about $28.54; for non-residential customers, a monthly service charge of $57.46 was established. The Commission emphasized that the large rate increases are due to the fact that the Company had not updated its rates for 27 years, and encouraged the Company to educate its customers about the rate case and the value and improvements in water and wastewater service the Company brings to the community.
