 3 § 8-110. County-wide polling places. 1. For the purposes of this
 4 section, the term "county-wide polling place" shall mean a polling place
 5 in a county where any person entitled to vote in such county by personal
 6 appearance may so vote on the day of a primary election or general
 7 election.
 8 2. A county board of elections may establish one or more county-wide
 9 polling places in its county, upon approval by the state board of
 10 elections pursuant to subdivision five of this section.
 11 3. Any person entitled to vote in a county by personal appearance may
 12 do so at any county-wide polling place established in such county pursu-

 21 tion of such county-wide polling place to the state board of elections
 22 no later than ninety days before the date of the next election. The
 23 state board of elections shall promulgate rules and regulations estab-
 24 lishing the approval process pursuant to this subdivision, and governing
 25 the implementation of county-wide polling places pursuant to this
 26 section.
 27 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
