AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to allow 17-year-olds who have pre-registered to vote to participate in primary or preliminary elections, as long as they will be 18 years old by the time of the subsequent special or general election. The bill removes the previous restriction that only 18-year-olds could vote in primary or preliminary elections, expanding civic participation for young people.
