Bill > H822

This bill establishes a special commission to investigate and study ways to increase voter participation in primary elections. The commission will specifically look into implementing a "Top Two Primary system," as well as examining party convention rules for nominations, primary election dates, and the elimination of the current party primary election system. The commission will include members from the state legislature, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, local election officials, a representative from Common Cause Massachusetts, and members from the state's political parties. The commission will report its findings and recommendations, along with proposed legislation, to the state legislature within six months of the bill's enactment.
