What’s in it

AI summary County election officials cannot allow a new satellite voting site to be located on school property if there is a school-related tax or bond question on the ballot for that election. This rule applies to any request to set up a temporary voting location at a school during an election where voters are deciding on school funding.¹

Why it matters. County commissioners of elections would be required to reject petitions to set up satellite absentee voting stations on school property if any school-related bond or levy question is on the ballot for that election. This change affects local election officials and voters who might otherwise use school sites for absentee voting during those specific elections.²
