This bill proposes several updates to current election statutes. It mandates that all government-owned buildings or facilities owned by a county, city, or town and accessible to the public must be made available as voting locations upon request by the officer in charge of elections, overriding any existing laws that may restrict this. Additionally, it introduces a new designation for polling places called "nonelectioneering," which allows for the prohibition of electioneering activities outside the 75-foot limit, specifically for facilities not owned by the state or local governments.

The bill also modifies the existing requirements for posting polling place information online. It removes the need to specify emergency conditions for prohibiting electioneering and instead requires the posting of nonelectioneering designations. The county recorder or election officer must update the website with any new polling places designated as nonelectioneering as soon as practicable. Overall, these changes aim to enhance accessibility to voting locations and clarify the rules surrounding electioneering at polling places.
