Bill Summary
Relative to voter privacy. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "Relative to voter privacy," amends Section 76 of Chapter 54 of the General Laws to enhance voter privacy during the voting process. Specifically, it changes the procedure for checking names on the voting list, requiring election officials to "repeat the same to the person checking the voting list" instead of simply announcing it, and adds a new provision mandating that any oral statement of a voter's name and residence must be made in a way that maintains the voter's privacy as much as practicable. This aims to prevent the public disclosure of who is voting, thereby protecting individual privacy.
