AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure municipal participation of the widest eligible range by allowing citizens aged 16 or 17 who are residents in a city or town to register to vote and participate in elections for officers in that city or town, as long as the city or town has accepted this provision. The bill amends Chapter 51 of the General Laws to add a new section that outlines the requirements and process for these younger citizens to be included on the list of voters and exercise their right to vote.
