Bill Summary
For legislation to allow parties to permit enrolled members of other parties to run in their own primary. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill would allow political parties in Massachusetts to permit enrolled members of other parties to run in their own primary elections. Specifically, the bill would modify an existing law that currently prohibits a candidate from appearing on a party's primary ballot unless they have been enrolled in that party for at least 90 days prior to the filing deadline. The bill would create an exception to this requirement if the state committee of a political party chooses to allow non-enrolled members to be nominated as candidates in their primary.
