Bill Summary
This bill provides that a municipality conducting an election that is not held during the November general election may only use drop boxes within a four mile radius or within the discretion of the county elections board.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to restrict the placement of ballot drop boxes for municipal, school, or special elections that do not occur during the November general election. Specifically, such elections can only utilize drop boxes located within a four-mile radius of the municipal government building where the municipal clerk's office is located, or at the discretion of the county elections board. The county elections board, which oversees election administration within a county, will have the authority to decide on alternative locations if deemed necessary, ensuring flexibility while still imposing some geographical limitations for these specific types of elections.
