AI Summary

This bill requires towns and cities to provide at least one polling place for every 15,000 registered voters during general elections where the President of the United States is elected, based on the voter checklist from January 1st of that year. However, towns and cities can use fewer polling places if they submit a plan to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, detailing how they will manage potential delays related to traffic flow, parking, voter check-in, same-day registrations, and other factors specified by these officials. The Secretary of State and Attorney General can approve these plans, potentially with conditions, or request more information before making a decision. This act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
