AI Summary

This bill allows for election day registration in Massachusetts. Under the proposed legislation, individuals who have not previously registered to vote in the state can register on the day of an election, including state, city, or town primaries, preliminary elections, and town meetings. To register, the individual must appear in person before the registrars of the city or town of their legal residence, complete a voter registration affidavit, and present suitable identification. If the registrars determine the individual is qualified to vote, they will add the person's name and residence to the voting list and permit them to vote in that election. The bill also directs the Secretary of State to promulgate regulations to implement this new election day registration process, and the legislation is set to take effect on January 1, 2018.
