The bill S. 468 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws regarding the pooling of precincts in municipal elections. Specifically, it modifies Section 7-7-1000 to establish new limits on the number of registered voters in pooled precincts. For municipal general elections, the total number of registered voters in each group of pooled precincts is increased from a maximum of 1,500 to 3,000. Additionally, for municipal primary elections, the limit is raised from 3,000 to 5,000 registered voters.

These changes are intended to provide greater flexibility in managing precincts during elections, potentially improving voter access and participation. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
