Conduct in Polling Places
SB 1170 allows members of the public to take photographs at polling places before the polls open and after they close. This directly affects voters, election observers, and poll workers by permitting photography during these specific times. The bill amends existing law to explicitly authorize photography in these periods, removing prior restrictions that prohibited it. It does not change rules about photography during active voting hours or inside voting booths.
