HB 1148 clarifies who can vote at township meetings by requiring voters to be registered and actually live in the township (with exceptions for college students who previously lived there and military members stationed elsewhere). The bill also changes how voting eligibility challenges are handled at township meetings—instead of following the same process as general elections, officials now require the challenged person to sign an affidavit about their residency, with false statements being a Class 2 misdemeanor.
