Elections; requiring school board to provide rooms as polling places; adding persons eligible to provide certain statement. Effective date.

SB 952 requires school districts and municipal governing boards to provide free rooms in schools or municipal buildings as polling places for elections. It also expands eligibility for agents who assist voters physically unable to vote in person on election day, allowing any person aged 16 or older (not employed by or related to candidates) to serve as an agent. The bill mandates that a registered voter seeking absentee ballots due to last-minute physical incapacity must include a sworn statement from a licensed physician or healthcare provider verifying the incapacity originated after the absentee ballot request deadline. This directly affects school districts, local governments, and voters who become physically unable to vote in person on election day. The law takes effect November 1, 2025.
