Bill Summary
Relative to the apportioning of electoral votes by Congressional district. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts election laws to apportion electoral votes by congressional district. Under this proposal, electors would be assigned to specific congressional districts and would cast separate ballots for the presidential and vice presidential candidates who received the most votes in their respective districts. Electors not assigned to a congressional district would cast a separate ballot for the candidates who received the most statewide popular votes. This would change the current system where all of Massachusetts' electoral votes are awarded to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote.
