Regarding Pennsylvania, see page 16 of the federal form: http://www.eac.gov/assets/1/Documents/national%20mail%20voter%20registration%20form%20english%20February%2015%202011.pdf
 
It says race is "requested" for PA, which is the wording for several states.  I see that for Alabama filling in race is "required" but it also says they won't turn down an applicaiton that doesn't have it (p. 3 of the instructions).

As I recall, it's on the form in PA but not uniformly maintained.  The
state doesn't collect it (again, as I recall, I looked into this in
2008).

Joe --

 

        Thanks for your summary information on what you have received.
This comports with our information on what we've seen in the data over
the years except for one state ... you listed "pa".  Is this a typo?
We've never seen racial data out of Pennsylvania.

 

Thanks
