RELATING TO ELECTIONS. Due to the recent drawing of district lines for federal, state, and county offices, there are small populations of voters who reside in areas that would require the creation of a ballot containing the contests, question, and issues specific to those areas, and the establishment of polling places for those voters. Given the small amount of voters involved and the resources required to establish and operate a polling place, this bill permits the mailing of absentee ballots to all registered voters in these areas, in lieu of the operation of polling places.
