House passes bill limiting precinct, polling place changes

Burleigh County tried to change polling locations in 2017, catching some legislators by surprise. Now in 2019, the house is trying to keep counties from trying it without notice.

By a vote of 86-7 the house passed HB 1270. The bill would prevent changes to legislative districts or polling places without consulting legislators and getting a majority of chairmen of district parties to agree.

The bill now moves to the senate.
