AI Summary

This bill requires cities and towns to complete, approve, and submit new voting ward and precinct divisions to the Local Election Districts Review Commission within 30 days after the enactment of legislation establishing new congressional, state senate, state representative, and executive council districts. If a city or town fails to meet this deadline or the Commission finds the proposed divisions deficient, the Commission can make the divisions or appoint a special master to do so. The Commission must also provide electronic maps of the new divisions to the state legislature. The bill also allows the Commission to promulgate rules and regulations, and repeals these provisions on January 1, 2022.
