Bill Summary
Relative to ballots for state primary elections. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 34 of Chapter 53 of the General Laws to require that for state primary elections, blank spaces equal to the number of persons to be chosen shall be provided on the ballot for the insertion of write-in candidates, with the blank spaces clearly marked as "write-in candidate." This change replaces the previous requirement that blank spaces be provided only for the number of deficiencies between the names printed on the ballot and the number of persons to be chosen.
