The bill S. 468 proposes amendments to the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding the pooling of precincts in municipal elections. Specifically, it seeks to modify Section 7-7-1000, which governs the maximum number of registered voters allowed in pooled precincts. For municipal general elections, the bill increases the limit from 1,500 to 3,000 registered voters in each group of pooled precincts. Additionally, for municipal primary elections, the limit is raised from 3,000 to 5,000 registered voters.

These changes aim to accommodate larger groups of voters within pooled precincts, potentially improving the efficiency of the electoral process in municipalities. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
