Bill Summary

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 117 to define "large public university campus"; require county boards of elections to conduct election day and no-excuse in-person absentee voting on large public university campuses; provide that this Act shall be known as the Right to Vote at College Campuses Act.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Right to Vote at College Campuses Act, requires county boards of elections to establish voting locations on large public university campuses, defined as the main campus of a public university with over 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students combined. These on-campus locations will be used for both Election Day voting and no-excuse in-person absentee voting, which allows voters to cast their ballot in person before Election Day without needing a specific reason. The bill also directs that these voting sites should offer ballots for all legislative and council precincts located within three miles of the campus, and university governing boards must provide the necessary space and cooperate with election officials to facilitate this process.
