What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Currently, the governing body of a municipality may designate a single

alternate site for absentee voting in person by electors of the municipality. If

designated, this site serves in lieu of the office of the municipal clerk or board of

election commissioners as the site where absentee voting is conducted for the election

at which the designation is made.

This bill permits the governing body of a municipality to designate more than

one alternate site for absentee voting in person by electors of the municipality. Under

the bill, an alternate site may be used for absentee voting in addition to or in lieu of

use of the office of the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners. The bill

also directs a municipality that designates an alternate site for absentee voting at

an election to notify the Government Accountability Board in writing of its

designation.
