An Act relative to Fall River polling places
This bill allows the Fall River City Council to change election polling locations up to 20 days before an election if doing so improves public convenience or health. The law permits placing voters from different precincts in the same location and requires the council to assess whether such changes negatively affect access based on race, disability, income, or age. Before finalizing any changes, the council must publish an evaluation report online and at the City Clerk's office three days in advance. Additionally, the bill mandates that no alcohol be served or consumed in the parts of buildings used as polling places during voting or ballot counting hours. Finally, the Board of Registrars must notify voters of these new locations using electronic methods like email or reverse 911 calls where possible.
