Bill Summary
Amends the Election Code. Provides that no later than December 31 of each even number year, the State Board of Elections shall report to the General Assembly (rather than to the General Assembly and the Federal Election Commission) the number of accessible and inaccessible polling places in the State on the date of the next preceding general election, and the reason for any instance of inaccessibility.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Election Code to change reporting requirements for the State Board of Elections regarding polling place accessibility. Specifically, it mandates that by December 31st of every even-numbered year, the State Board of Elections must report to the General Assembly (the state's legislative body) the number of polling places that were accessible and inaccessible during the most recent general election, along with the reasons for any inaccessibility. Previously, this report was also required to be sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), an independent regulatory agency that enforces federal election laws, but this bill removes that requirement. The bill aims to streamline reporting and focus the information on state-level legislative oversight of election accessibility.
