AI Summary
This bill aims to decrease waiting times at polling places by allowing cities and towns to implement a voter "speed pass" system in addition to the current manual system. The state secretary would provide a program that uses approved software and electronic poll books to electronically scan and verify voter information, with the data securely transferred to the Commonwealth's voter registration system. The program is designed to meet high security standards and cannot be accessed remotely or through wireless devices, ensuring the integrity of the voting process.
