Precinct-Based Voting and Voting Center Restrictions

This proposed constitutional amendment would require most voters on Election Day to cast their ballots at their assigned neighborhood polling place, rather than at any countywide voting center. Counties would need to create smaller precincts, provide a polling site for each one—using schools or state buildings when possible—and take additional steps to reduce wait times. Early voting and emergency sites would still be available, and voters could update their addresses at those locations. While this approach could bring polling places closer to home, it would remove the flexibility to vote anywhere in the county on Election Day. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot.
