SB 1982 changes the location rules for polling places during early voting and on Election Day by creating "voting centers." These centers consolidate multiple precincts into a single polling location. The bill eliminates the current precinct-based model, allowing counties to assign voters from multiple precincts to a centralized voting center. It also mandates specific requirements for electronic voter verification systems, ensuring real-time data updates and timestamped records of voters checking in. The bill aims to streamline election administration and improve accessibility while maintaining security measures​.
