Bill > S374

This bill establishes a system for "sticky voter registration," meaning that registered voters in Massachusetts who move within the Commonwealth will have their voter registration automatically updated with their new address. The State Secretary will periodically receive address change data from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles and the U.S. Postal Service, and if this data indicates a more recent address for a registered voter than what is currently on file, the State Secretary will update the voter's record in the Central Voter Registry and notify local election officials to update their records as well. Voters whose addresses are changed will receive written notice of the update and their new polling location. This change aims to ensure that registered voters remain eligible to vote even after moving within the state, and the law will take effect one year after its passage.
