Bill > H836

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts law regarding regional school district voting procedures by changing Section 16(n) of Chapter 71. Specifically, the bill establishes that the regional school district committee will determine polling place locations in consultation with each town's select board or city council, and mandates that polling hours will be consistent across the entire district, specifically from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The key changes aim to standardize voting logistics for regional school district elections, ensuring uniform polling times across different towns within the same school district and requiring collaborative input from local municipal leadership when selecting polling locations.
