Legislative update - early voting cost coverage advances

Via Senator Becca Rausch:

Legislative update - early voting cost coverage advances

"My bill to proactively pay for early voting costs, rather than making towns and cities pay from their own budgets and then get reimbursed, has been reported favorably by the Committee on Election Laws.

There’s no need to continually burden local budgets when we could issue funds in advance."
