What’s in it
AI summary If a school bond or tax question is on the ballot, election officials cannot allow a satellite voting station to be set up on school property. This rule applies to any election where voters are being asked to approve funding for school programs or buildings.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires a county commissioner of elections to reject an otherwise valid petition to establish a satellite absentee voting station if the site requested is on school property and a question to approve a bond, an instructional support program, an educational improvement program, a physical plant and equipment levy, or public education and recreation levy issued by any school appears on the ballot to be voted at that election.
