AI Summary

This bill amends Section 16 of Chapter 71 to change the provisions related to the number and location of polling places for regional school district votes.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the hours during which all polls in the district are open must be uniform throughout the district, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
