For partisan elections, changes in boundaries must be completed at least 29 days before precinct caucus days, except when the precinct changes result from a change in county boundaries. The county clerk and recorder must move the location of any polling location upon a petition endorsed by the majority of the eligible voters in a county, subject to other requirements and the approval of the board of county commissioners. The county clerk and recorder must also submit changes to the secretary of state within 10 days.
(1) Changes in the boundaries of precincts or the creation of new precincts for partisan elections shall be completed no later than twenty-nine days prior to the precinct caucus day, except in cases of precinct changes resulting from changes in county boundaries.
(2) Subject to approval by the board of county commissioners, the county clerk and recorder shall change the location of any polling location upon a petition of a majority of the eligible electors residing within a county if the request is made at least ninety days prior to the primary election.
