Local ballot questions must be posted on the municipality's website for at least 25 consecutive days before the election, with all website notices required to meet WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards

Local boards may substitute newspaper advertising for voter registration deadline notices by posting on the municipality's website for at least 10 consecutive days leading up to the registration deadline

Establishes a minimum 25-day advance notice requirement for publishing local ballot questions, where previously the law only required publication "prior to" the election
