Requires polls for special town elections to open on otherwise scheduled general election days

This bill requires that special town election polls open on the same day as scheduled general elections, as designated by the state board of elections. It directly affects local town boards and the state board of elections by changing when voters can cast ballots for special town elections. The key provision mandates that if a special town election occurs on a general election day, the polls must remain open for at least six consecutive hours between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., while maintaining existing requirements for notice publication and ballot procedures. This change standardizes voting times for special town elections to align with general election schedules, ensuring consistent poll hours across different election types.
