Replaces references to "voting machines" with "voting tabulators" throughout election law and eliminates specific requirements for voting machine mechanics in favor of registrars of voters handling equipment preparation and maintenance.

Simplifies voter registry list procedures by removing detailed requirements for preliminary and final registry list certifications, printing, and public posting; makes lists available at registrar offices with more flexible availability standards.

Changes enrollment list procedures to require registrars to be available during a 14-day period before elections for revisions and corrections, eliminating prior requirements for multiple formal sessions with published notices.

Modifies absentee ballot processing to allow ballots to be checked at various times throughout election day but counted at a single designated time, rather than requiring multiple counting periods.

Requires registrars of voters to maintain two registrars per municipality for the entire municipality starting January 9, 2013, consolidating the previous system allowing separate registrars for individual voting districts.
