Bill > H588

This bill proposes an amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution to allow qualified voters who are also serving as poll workers on election day to vote prior to the election. Currently, the Constitution, as amended by Articles XLV, LXXVI, and CV, does not explicitly allow for this, and this proposal aims to annul those existing articles and replace them with a new provision. The "general court," which refers to the Massachusetts state legislature, would be granted the power to create laws that permit these poll workers to cast their ballots before the official election day if they are unable to do so in person at their assigned polling places due to their poll worker duties.
