Signed by Governor Kay Ivey

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that prohibits election workers from setting up curbside voting.

Highlights:

• Prohibits an electronic voting machine, or voting machine of any kind, from being installed or operated except as designated for installation and operation during an election within the interior of an enclosed building designated as a voting place (Sec. 1.a).

• Prohibits an election officer or poll worker from taking a ballot into or out of any voting place, except in the performance of his or her authorized or official duties that include only the pre-election and post-election transporting of ballots to and from voting places as part of established election procedures (Sec. 1.a).

• Requires a judge of probate to publish a notice that describes the election precincts by their numbers and specifies the place therein where elections are to be held (Sec. 1.b).

When the boundaries of election precincts are changed, the county governing body will designate and establish at least one voting place for every 2,400 voters in each election precinct (Sec. 1.d).

• Requires voting places to be the same for all elections, whether primary, general, or special, or federal, state, district, or county (Sec. 1.d).
