For general elections, counties with at least 25,000 active electors are currently required to designate at least one voter service and polling center (VSPC) for each 30,000 active electors during the period of early voting. The bill maintains this provision for the second 7 days of early voting, but changes this figure for the first 7 days of early voting so that at least one VSPC is required for each 75,000 active electors in those counties. For all counties, the bill also removes the requirement that VSPCs be open on the first Saturday during the 15-day period prior to election day.
