Bill Summary
For legislation relative to election officers. Election Laws.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing election laws to change the required number and roles of election officers at polling places, specifically reducing the number of deputy wardens and deputy clerks while introducing a "ballot box inspector" role. It also clarifies that inspectors overseeing the voting list and the ballot box must belong to different political parties and mandates that the ballot box inspector confirm each voter has cast their ballot before leaving the precinct. Additionally, the bill repeals Section 83 of Chapter 54 of the General Laws, which likely contained outdated provisions regarding election officer staffing.
