Bill Summary
For legislation for political party endorsement reform. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts law to allow a "cross-endorsement" process, where multiple political parties can endorse the same candidate, and all votes cast for that candidate will be totaled together. This is intended to provide voters with a greater range of choices during elections by recognizing coalitions of different political parties supporting the same candidates. The bill empowers the Massachusetts Secretary of State and Elections Division to establish regulations to facilitate this cross-endorsement process for all recognized political parties in the state.
