HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania's highest court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law, after a lower court ruled the law violates the state constitution.

The state Supreme Court said Wednesday it will hear oral arguments at its March 8 session in Harrisburg.

The mail-in voting law -- which allows no-excuse mail-in voting by any registered voter -- remains in force while the state Supreme Court hears the appeal by Gov. Tom Wolf's administration.

Three Republican judges on a Commonwealth Court panel of five judges agreed Friday with Republican challengers and ruled that no-excuse mail-in voting is prohibited under the state constitution.

The two Democratic judges on the panel dissented.
