The bill S. 694 proposes an amendment to Section 7-7-40 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically concerning the designation of voting precincts in Aiken County. The amendment allows the Board of Voter Registration and Elections to locate a polling place within five miles of a precinct's boundaries if it determines that there is no suitable location for a polling place within the precinct itself. This decision must be approved by a majority of the county legislative delegation.

This change aims to ensure that voters in Aiken County have access to polling places even when suitable locations are not available within their designated precincts. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
