AI Summary
This bill aims to decrease waiting times at polling places by allowing cities and towns to implement a "voter speed pass" system in addition to the manual system currently used. The state secretary will provide a program that uses approved software to electronically scan voter information, check voters in and out, and verify voter information directly with the state's voter registration system. The system will not be accessible wirelessly or remotely, and all data transfers will be done securely at the city or town clerk's office following security protocols set by the secretary of the commonwealth.
