Bill > S425

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to change the date of the state's primary election to the third Tuesday of May. The goal is to have the primary election occur before the summer season, with the general election following in the fall, with the intent of increasing voter turnout and public engagement in both the primary and general elections. The bill also grants the Secretary of the Commonwealth, as the state's chief election officer, the authority to establish necessary rules and regulations regarding the May primary election, including provisions for absentee ballots, early voting, and mail-in voting.
