AI Summary

This bill allows the town of Hingham to postpone its municipal election, originally scheduled for April 30, 2022, to a date on or before June 30, 2022. The Select Board of Hingham can vote to reschedule the election, and must provide public notice of the new election date. The last day to register to vote for the rescheduled election will be 10 days before the new date, with the board of registrars holding registration sessions on that day. Absentee ballots cast for the original election date will be accepted and processed, but voters can still choose to vote in person on the rescheduled date if their absentee ballot has not been counted.
