AI Summary
This bill establishes election day voter registration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It allows eligible individuals to register to vote at their polling place on the day of an election by completing a registration application, presenting proof of residency, and making a written oath. The bill also makes changes to the existing voter registration laws, such as extending the deadline for registrars to hold a continuous registration session and allowing the attorney general or district attorney to investigate any credible allegations of illegal voter registration or multiple voting. The bill also creates an advisory committee to study the resources and feasibility of providing every polling location with real-time electronic access to the central voter registry.
