requiring suitable public facilities such as schools and town halls be made available as polling places upon request by local election officials.

Summary

The bill obligates any suitable municipal facility—such as schools, town halls, fire stations, or other city‑owned property—to be made available for voting if a town’s selectmen or a city ward officer asks. The municipality must cover reasonable costs for cleaning, utilities and security, while the building must still be able to carry out its normal duties. The goal is to expand polling locations and make voting more convenient.
