AI Summary

This bill establishes "sticky voter registration" for registered voters who move within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires the Secretary of State to obtain address change data from the Registry of Motor Vehicles and the U.S. Postal Service every three months, and use that information to automatically update the state's Central Voter Registry and the local annual registers of voters. This is intended to ensure that voters' registration information is kept current when they move, without requiring them to re-register. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to promptly notify voters of any address changes made to their registration.
