Relates to additional days of voting as a result of emergencies
This bill authorizes county or state election boards to schedule an additional voting day when emergencies (like natural disasters, power failures, or state emergencies) prevent voters from casting ballots during the original election. It requires boards to get approval before extending voting, with the extra day set within 20 days of the original election and lasting at least 11 hours. Only voters registered for the original election who did not vote are eligible to cast ballots on this additional day. The bill ensures notices reach voters and officials in advance while preserving the validity of early, mail-in, or absentee ballots received on the original election date.
