Bill > S407

This bill proposes to establish election day registration in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. Allowing individuals who are eligible to vote to register on the day of an election by appearing at their polling place, completing a registration application, providing proof of residency, and taking an oath. 2. Requiring local election officials to publish polling locations, dates, and hours at least 7 days prior to any election. 3. Granting the state secretary authority to provide election officials with access to the statewide list of registered voters. 4. Establishing an advisory committee to study the resources, costs, and feasibility of providing every polling location with real-time electronic access to the statewide voter database. The bill would take effect on August 1, 2023, except for the provisions related to election day registration and the advisory committee, which would take effect immediately upon passage.
