What changed in the latest version
8 added · 8 removedPlain-language change summary
The latest version of the bill specifies that the information about nonelectioneering sites will be included on a designated website, which will now be clearly labeled as the "Designated Nonelectioneering Sites Website." Additionally, it emphasizes that the county elections officer is responsible for updating this site with new polling places and must detail the reasons for the nonelectioneering status, including how many attempts were made to find suitable polling locations. This change is important because it improves transparency about polling place selection and ensures voters have the latest information.
