The purpose of this bill is to establish voting precincts and change the composition of standard receiving boards. The bill increases the limit on the size of voting precincts to 3000 registered voters in urban areas and 1500 in rural areas, permitting precincts in urban or rural areas to have fewer than the minimum numbers of registered voters allowed. The bill permits an increase in the size of standard receiving boards in enlarged precincts; provides an option to have more poll workers and commissioners; and permits fewer poll workers in precincts during a municipal election where there is no simultaneous state or county election.
