Bill Summary
Relative to political designations. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill amends the definition of "Political designation" in Massachusetts state law. It allows five hundred registered voters to request a new political designation, expressed in no more than three words, which registered voters can then choose to be associated with. However, the designation "Independent" cannot be used. If a new designation has fewer than one quarter of one percent of the total number of registered voters enrolled after two years, it will be dissolved, and those voters will be registered as "unenrolled." The bill takes effect upon passage.
