Bill > H830

This bill modifies Massachusetts state law regarding the preparation of street lists by election registrars, specifically changing what personal information can be included in these lists. Currently, street lists prepared by registrars include detailed personal information about residents. Under this bill, registrars will be prohibited from including dates of birth and occupations on these lists. Additionally, the bill streamlines the required information for street lists, now mandating only the person's name, residence details for the preceding and current year, and nationality (only if the person is not a U.S. citizen). These changes appear designed to protect residents' personal information while still maintaining essential demographic tracking for electoral purposes. The modifications will be made to Sections 6 and 7 of Chapter 51 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which govern the preparation and content of street lists used for voter registration and electoral processes.
