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
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.
Changed since by amendment S-3025; see Amendments.
