AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the fairness and public transparency of individuals who interact with election officials in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It proposes to require members of Massachusetts political party state committees, city ward committees, city committees, and town committees to take an oath or affirmation to faithfully follow the Constitution and laws, including respecting and carrying out all electoral laws and regulations. The oath or affirmation would be administered by the appropriate local official, such as the city or town clerk, at the committee's organizing meeting after the members have been elected. The bill also authorizes the party chairs to administer the oath or affirmation to individuals appointed or elected to fill vacancies. A written record of the oath or affirmation would be established and may accompany the official records of the committee meetings.
