Bill Summary
Relative to extending certain voting protection to early voting. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill aims to extend the voting protections currently in place for in-person election day voting to the period of early voting as well. The key provision is the insertion of a new section (Section 65A) into Chapter 54 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which states that all the rules and regulations contained in Section 65 of the same chapter shall apply to voting premises during the period of early voting. This ensures that the same level of protection and oversight is provided to voters during the early voting period as on election day.
