Bill Summary

Relative to establishing representative districts in the General Court

AI Summary

This bill establishes representative districts in the General Court. The key provisions are: - The Commonwealth is divided into 160 representative districts, with detailed descriptions of the geographic areas and voting tabulation districts (VTDs) that make up each district. - Municipalities with multiple representative districts must establish precincts or sub-precincts along the district boundaries. Polling places for sub-precincts can be located in the same building as the precinct. - The new district boundaries and precincts/sub-precincts will remain in place until the next decennial federal census and division of representative districts. This bill outlines the redistricting process for the Massachusetts General Court, including the specific geographic areas that will make up each of the 160 representative districts across the state.
