Bill Summary
For legislation relative to town committee elections and membership. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 52 of the General Laws to update the provisions related to town committee elections and membership. Specifically, it changes the eligibility requirements for ward and town committee members, allowing newly registered voters in the political party to be elected as long as they have not been enrolled in another party in the previous year. The bill also removes the limit on the number of committee members that can be elected, as long as there are at least three per ward or town. It provides a process for notifying the state secretary of the number of committee members to be elected, and specifies that the previous number will be used if the committee fails to provide this notice.
