Politicians approved studies to decide whether electronic voting at polling stations was something the island needed. The measure is one of several changes being brought into the Public Elections Law.

Teenagers who turn 16 on Election Day will be allowed to register in advance, and pre-poll voting stations will appear in locations outside town.
