AI Summary

  • Amends the Election Code to allow election authorities to establish additional vote centers beyond the currently required minimum, following a tiered model based on county population and registered voter counts

  • Establishes minimum vote center requirements for counties with 250,000+ registered voters: 1 per 75,000 voters from days 15-5 before election, 1 per 20,000 voters from days 4-1 before election, and 1 per 12,500 voters on election day

  • Sets scaled requirements for smaller counties: counties with 37,500-250,000 voters follow similar ratios; counties with 12,500-37,500 voters must have at least 1 vote center before election day and 3 on election day; counties under 12,500 voters need at least 1 vote center

  • Removes the July 1, 2029 repeal date for the existing vote center provisions, making them permanent

  • Requires election authorities to consider multiple factors when selecting vote center locations, including proximity to public transportation, disability access, geographic distribution, historically under-represented communities, and areas with lower voter turnout in previous elections
