Legislative History

(1967, P.A. 805, S. 1; 1969, P.A. 3, S. 2; 694, S. 19.) History: 1969 acts changed poll hours from between “six a.m. and six p.m.” to between “twelve noon and eight p.m.”, removed distinctions between towns and cities and boroughs in voting on poll hours and replaced former option for eight p.m. closing with option for earlier opening.
