Bill > H593

This bill proposes to change the terminology used in Massachusetts election laws, specifically replacing the phrase "unenrolled voter" with "unaffiliated voter" throughout Chapters 50 through 57 of the General Laws and in any regulations created under those chapters. An "unenrolled voter" or "unaffiliated voter" is someone who is registered to vote but has not chosen to join a political party, meaning they can participate in primary elections of any party if the state allows, or vote in general elections without party affiliation. This change is primarily a linguistic update to ensure consistent terminology in official documents and regulations.
