  • Permits the board of supervisors to provide for emergency election day voting with ballots that are either tabulated on-site or at a counting center during the expanded emergency voting period.

  • Allows county recorders and election officers to make changes to approved emergency voting center locations if the original location becomes unavailable and there is insufficient time for board approval, with requirements to notify the public and board as soon as practicable.
