Bill > H552

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 54 of the General Laws, which pertains to election laws, by adding a new section, Section 111A. This new section mandates that city and town clerks must keep a record of all votes cast in elections, specifically including the names and vote counts for write-in candidates. These records must be preserved according to the existing requirements of Chapter 54. Furthermore, the names of individuals who received write-in votes will be accessible to the public upon request, and clerks are required to provide a copy of these names for a reasonable fee or allow individuals to examine and copy them without charge, under appropriate supervision.
