Absentee voting; counting ballots prior to the close of polls.

Summary

The bill lets officers at a central absentee precinct begin recording the number of absentee votes after noon on Election Day, instead of waiting until polls close. It also moves the start of absentee‑ballot processing from seven days before the election to fourteen days. The changes aim to speed up reporting of absentee results while keeping vote totals for in‑person absentee ballots confidential until election day.
