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. Specifically, it removes the requirement that the district committee determine the number and location of polling places, and instead requires that the polling place or places be determined by the district committee after consultation with the select board or city council. 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.
