AI Summary

This bill aims to expand access to voter registration by amending two sections of the General Laws. Firstly, it requires the state secretary to post voter registration documents in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and any other languages deemed necessary or required by law. Secondly, it expands the requirement for voter registration forms to be available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, instead of just English and Spanish. These changes are intended to make voter registration more accessible to a broader range of individuals.
