LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law prohibits an establishment where the primary purpose is the sale and dispensation of alcoholic beverages from being used as a polling place.

This bill would delete that prohibition.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 12288 of the Elections Code is amended to read:

12288.

A polling place shall not be accessible by a door, window, or other opening to any place where any alcoholic beverage is sold or dispensed while the polls are open.
