Allows county or state boards of elections to add an extra voting day if a disaster or state of emergency makes voting impossible and cannot be mitigated during scheduled voting times.

Requires the additional voting day to occur no more than 20 days after the original election date, with polls open for at least 11 hours.

Mandates notification to media outlets, elected officials, and registered voters at least one week before the additional voting day, with notice posted on the board's website.

Permits extension of filing deadlines for up to two business days and postponement of party caucuses for up to one week if disasters or emergencies substantially impair the ability to file or conduct caucuses.

Allows only registered voters who did not vote on the original election date to vote on the additional day, using voting machines with security seals; does not extend deadlines for absentee or military ballots.
