Created voting centers as alternative polling locations where voters can cast ballots in person, subject to population limits and geographic distribution requirements.

Required counties to designate specific locations as main early voting polling places and permanent/temporary branch polling places that must remain open on election day.

Established procedures for combining precincts with fewer than 3,000 registered voters to reduce election equipment and personnel costs.

Repealed sections governing voting by mail procedures and related administrative requirements.
