The bill allows a county commissioner of elections (commissioner) to establish a voting center for an election in which a city election and a school election are being conducted on the same ballot in a location outside the county of the commissioner if the commissioner determines that the voting center would be beneficial to voters from the county of the commissioner.

Such a voting center shall be under the control of the commissioner establishing the voting center, shall be established in consultation with the commissioner of the county where the voting center will be located, and shall only be used by voters of the county of the commissioner establishing the voting center.
