Bill > H589

This bill modifies existing election laws in cities and towns by changing the required number and roles of election officers at polling places. Specifically, it reduces the number of deputy wardens and deputy clerks, and in some cases, deputy inspectors, while introducing a "ballot box inspector" and ensuring that the inspector in charge of the voting list and the inspector in charge of the ballot box belong to different political parties. The bill also clarifies the process for checking voters' names on the voting list before they cast a ballot and removes a section related to the election of certain town officers.
