AI Summary

This bill aims to update the laws around overseas voting in Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters to receive and return their ballots electronically, such as by email or fax, rather than solely by mail. The bill sets a requirement that ballots be transmitted to these voters no later than 45 days before a federal election if the request was received by the 48th day before the election. The bill also prohibits mailing ballots to designated health care facilities within the city or town where the voter is registered.
