Voters permitted to briefly leave a polling place to address an unexpected need, at the discretion of the head election judge.

This bill allows voters who have received a ballot but not yet cast it to briefly leave the polling place to handle an unexpected need. The head election judge has the discretion to permit this, requiring the voter to spoil their original ballot, fill out a form, and be accompanied by the judge upon return to receive a new ballot. This change aims to accommodate voters facing unforeseen circumstances while maintaining election integrity.
