The bill authorizes the Walker County Commission to establish voting centers throughout Walker County, allowing for the combination of voters from two or more precincts. This measure aims to facilitate the election process and reduce costs associated with conducting elections. The legal framework for this action is provided under subsection (c) of Section 17-6-4 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which the bill references to ensure compliance with existing laws.

The bill will take effect on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor, or upon its otherwise becoming law. The Senate passed the bill on April 20, 2023, following its initial passage in the House on April 13, 2023. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text, but the insertion of the new legal language is crucial for implementing the establishment of voting centers in Walker County.
