Bill Summary

This bill concerns the early voting period for regular municipal elections in May. This bill allows a municipality to pass an ordinance to begin the early voting period for a regular municipal election in May on the 11th calendar day before the regular municipal election. Currently, the early voting period must begin on the 4th calendar day prior to the election and end on the second calendar day before that regular municipal election, providing three days of early voting. The bill allows municipalities to expand the early voting period to 10 days for regular municipal elections in May in those nonpartisan municipalities that have adopted early voting.

AI Summary

This bill allows municipalities that conduct regular municipal elections in May to pass an ordinance to expand the early voting period for those elections from the current 3 days to up to 10 days, starting on the 11th calendar day before the election. The bill maintains the requirement for at least one but no more than three early voting locations within the municipality, and specifies security and accessibility provisions for those locations.
