Bill > H731

This bill aims to update political terminology in Massachusetts election laws. It amends the definition of "political designation" to exclude the use of the term "Independent" and instead defines it as a designation for those who choose not to enroll with a political party. The bill also changes the term "Unenrolled" to "Independent" for candidates who are not nominated by a political party. Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for voters to establish, change, or cancel their party enrollment, and specifies that voters registered in a non-party political designation are considered independent and can choose to receive the ballot of any political party in a primary election.
