§ 12105 Polling Place Publication Requirements

• •The list must be published at least one week before the election.
• •It should be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area, as required by Section 6061 of the Government Code.
• •If there is no newspaper, the list must be typewritten and posted in at least three public places where people can easily see it.

A town is holding an election next month. The elections official prints the list of polling places and puts it in the town’s only newspaper, which comes out a week before the vote. If the town had no newspaper, the official would type the list and post copies on the bulletin board at City Hall, the public library, and the post office.

The official follows the rule by getting the list out early and making sure everyone can see it, either in the paper or on public boards.
