Bill > S05101

This bill modifies the election law specifically for a special election scheduled on April 29, 2025, by establishing unique early voting parameters. The legislation mandates that early voting for this particular special election will begin on April 21, 2025, and conclude on April 27, 2025, which is a seven-day early voting period. Additionally, the bill requires that the total hours of early voting for this special election must be equal to or greater than the minimum number of hours typically required by existing election law. The bill is temporary in nature, taking effect immediately and automatically expiring on December 31, 2025, at which point the special provisions will be repealed. This targeted approach suggests the legislation is addressing a specific, time-limited electoral event with the intent of ensuring adequate early voting opportunities for constituents.
