MINOR

This bill revision adds a critical exemption to the requirement for early voting sites on state university campuses. It now allows campuses to avoid establishing an on-campus early voting site if an existing site is already located within one mile of the campus boundaries, preventing duplication of resources.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was narrowed by introducing a geographic exception; campuses previously required to host early voting sites may now be exempt if a nearby site exists.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new provision stating that the requirement to establish an early voting site on a state university campus does not apply if a polling place is already designated within one mile of the campus boundaries.
