Elections; allow municipalities to opt in to providing advance voting on Saturdays for municipal elections

Changed the authority to opt out of Saturday advance voting from 'city council or other municipal governing body' to 'governing authority of a municipality', broadening the language to cover various municipal structures.

Added a new provision stating that the Saturday voting opt-out provisions do not apply to municipal elections held on the same date as county or state primaries, elections, or runoffs.

Adjusted the description of special election timelines, changing '29 days' to '29 days shall intervene between the call of a special primary and the holding of same' for clarity.

New Section 1 added provisions allowing removal of State Election Board members elected by the General Assembly during legislative sessions or by presiding officers when the legislature is not in session.

Changed Saturday advance voting from a default opt-in system to an opt-out system, allowing city councils to choose not to conduct advance voting on Saturdays.

Revised the bill's purpose statement to reflect the new focus on State Election Board member removal procedures rather than advance voting opt-in provisions.

Reduced the required notice period for special elections from 60 days to 29 days.
