Bill Summary
For legislation to require that all eligible voters in the Commonwealth be required to cast ballots in the November general election. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to make voting obligatory for all eligible voters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It would remove the registration deadline for voting, and require all eligible voters to cast a ballot in the November general election. Failure to do so would result in a $15 fee added to the voter's state tax liability. The bill provides an exception for voters who submit a blank ballot, and directs the Department of Revenue and Secretary of State's office to develop a system to assess the fee.
