AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS -- LOCAL CANVASSING AUTHORITIES

SB 2282 requires local election boards to provide clearer voter information for local ballot questions and early voting. It mandates posting and advertising ballot question details (including cost estimates for bond issues) in public locations, newspapers, or via mailed notices 25 days before elections, plus publishing the same information on municipal websites for 25 days. The bill also requires early voting dates, hours, and locations to be advertised in newspapers and maintained on websites with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.0 AA). These changes directly affect local election boards and voters by standardizing how election information is delivered and ensuring accessibility.
