Bill > H847

This bill modifies existing Massachusetts election laws to require the State Secretary to provide more frequent and timely voter information to state political party committees. Specifically, the bill mandates that the State Secretary must respond to standard voter registration and voter history information requests within one week of receiving them. During early voting periods, the State Secretary is required to maintain and electronically transmit a daily updated list of registered voters who have cast early ballots (either in-person or by mail) to state party committees. Additionally, the bill requires the State Secretary to provide state party committees with a list of registered voters who have requested vote-by-mail ballots at least four times per year. These provisions aim to increase transparency and provide political parties with more current and accessible voter information, potentially helping parties better understand voter engagement and participation in the electoral process.
