Establishes the use of vote centers as an option for all counties. Requires the county election board (board) to adopt an order designating a county a vote center county, adopt a plan to administer the vote centers, and file the order and the plan with the election division. Requires the board to accept and consider public comment before adopting an order designating the county as a vote center county. Requires that the plan provide that at least one vote center be established for early voting on the two Saturdays immediately preceding an election day. Provides that designation of a county as a vote center county remains in effect until the board rescinds the order designating the county as a vote center county and files a copy of the rescission with the election division. Redesignates automatically as a vote center county a county previously designated a vote center pilot county. (The law concerning the use of vote centers in vote center pilot counties has expired.)

Vote centers.
