Bill > H723

This bill aims to expand voting access for college and university students in Massachusetts. It requires that any precinct containing an institution of higher education with more than 1,000 eligible voters designate a polling place within half a mile of the institution. It also mandates that public institutions of higher education provide polling place facilities to municipalities upon request, free of charge, as long as the facilities meet the applicable requirements. The bill also includes provisions related to the designation of polling places more generally, such as allowing municipal legislatures to designate polling places in adjacent precincts or in a single building, as well as regulating the sale of alcoholic beverages in polling places.
