Senate Bill 934 amends the existing law regarding the discontinuation of polling place locations in municipalities. Currently, polling places cannot be discontinued without the approval of the municipality's governing body after a public hearing, provided that this occurs more than 30 days before the next election. The bill introduces a new requirement that if a polling place is discontinued after an election, the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners must mail notice of this change to each residence served by the polling place no later than 30 days before the next election.

This amendment aims to enhance communication with voters regarding changes to polling locations, ensuring that residents are adequately informed in advance of elections. The bill reflects a commitment to maintaining transparency and accessibility in the electoral process, thereby supporting informed participation by the electorate.
