Bill > H822

This bill modifies Section 86 of Chapter 54 of the Massachusetts General Laws related to absentee voting by removing the word "physical" from four specific lines in the existing law. By eliminating the word "physical," the bill appears to be broadening the definition or application of absentee voting, potentially allowing for more flexible voting methods or interpretations of what constitutes an absentee ballot. While the specific context of the original law is not provided in the bill text, this change suggests an intent to make absentee voting more accessible or adaptable, possibly in response to changing voting practices or technological advancements in election procedures.
