AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to address voting by overseas and military voters. The key provisions are: (1) it allows for the electronic transmission of ballots and voting materials to absent uniformed services voters and overseas voters, and (2) it permits these voters to return their ballots and accompanying materials to local election officials via electronic means, regardless of how they received the ballot initially. This is intended to facilitate voting by citizens living or serving outside the United States.
