Relative to reprecincting. Election Laws.

AI Summary

This bill amends various sections of Massachusetts election laws related to redistricting and reprecincting. The key provisions include requiring the state redistricting commission to provide electronic files with updated ward and precinct boundaries to legislative leaders within 7 days of approving the decennial redistricting plan. It also changes the deadlines for municipalities to establish new precincts, from June 15 every 10 years to 30 days after the Governor's approval of the redistricting plan. Additionally, the bill prohibits municipalities from splitting precincts across multiple congressional, state legislative, or executive council districts, and requires precincts to remain unchanged until the next redistricting cycle.
