to read as follows:
(a) The board of elections shall designate polling places for early

persons to vote early pursuant to this title; provided, however, that
the municipality with the highest population in each county based on the
latest federal decennial census shall have at least one polling place
designated for early voting, and to the extent practicable if such muni-
cipality has public transportation routes, such polling place shall be
situated along such transportation routes. There shall be so designated
at least one early voting polling place for every full increment of
fifty thousand registered voters in each county; provided, however, the
number of early voting polling places in a county shall not be required
to be greater than ten unless required by any other provision of law,
and a county with fewer than fifty thousand voters shall have at least
one early voting polling place.

SAND, BUT LESS THAN ONE MILLION BASED ON THE LATEST FEDERAL DECENNIAL
CENSUS, THERE SHALL BE AT LEAST ONE EARLY VOTING POLLING PLACE FOR EVERY
FULL INCREMENT OF FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS IN SUCH CITIES AND TOWNS BASED
ON THE LATEST FEDERAL DECENNIAL CENSUS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE NUMBER OF
EARLY VOTING POLLING PLACES IN EACH SUCH CITY AND TOWN SHALL NOT BE
REQUIRED TO BE GREATER THAN ELEVEN, AND TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE, IF
SUCH CITIES OR TOWNS HAVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION ROUTES, SUCH POLLING
PLACES SHALL BE SITUATED ALONG SUCH TRANSPORTATION ROUTES.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
