Bill > S435

This bill allows for election day voter registration in the state of Massachusetts. It creates a new section in Chapter 51 of the General Laws that permits individuals who have not previously registered to vote to register and cast a ballot on the day of an election. The bill outlines the registration process, which requires the individual to appear in person at a designated location, complete an affidavit of voter registration, and present suitable identification. The registrars are responsible for adding the individual's information to the voting list and transmitting it to the polling place. The bill also directs the state secretary to promulgate regulations to implement this new provision, and it sets an effective date of January 1, 2023.
