An act to amend Section 12288 of the Elections Code, relating to
elections.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 169, as introduced, Gaines. Elections: polling places.
Existing law requires an elections official to divide a
jurisdiction into precincts and publish, not less than 1 week before
the election, the list of the polling places designated for each
election precinct. Existing law prohibits a place where the primary
purpose of the establishment is the sale and dispensation of
alcoholic beverages from being used as a polling place.
This bill will make technical, nonsubstantive changes to the
latter provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 12288 of the Elections Code is amended to read:
12288. A place where the primary purpose of the establishment is
the sale and dispensation of alcoholic beverages may
shall not be used as a polling place. A polling
place may shall not be connected by a
door, window, or other opening with any a
place where any an alcoholic
beverage is sold or dispensed while the polls are open.
