Bill > S436

This bill aims to modernize the central registry of voters in Massachusetts. It requires the secretary of state to maintain a comprehensive digital central registry of all registered voters and residents aged 16 and over in the commonwealth. The registry will contain various voter information, such as name, address, date of birth, and political party affiliation. The bill also mandates that the registry be made available to authorized entities, such as political parties and election officials, and that the secretary of state seek federal funding to maintain the registry. Additionally, the bill requires the secretary of state to certify compliance with a previous law or provide a report detailing the reasons for noncompliance.
