AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 51, Section 15 of the General Laws to change the process for filling vacancies on the board of registrars of voters in certain towns. The bill requires the town to solicit a list of interested parties and publish a notice of the vacancy for at least 14 days before making an appointment. If no interested members of the two leading political parties come forward, the selectmen may appoint a voter registered in the town for at least two years, even if they are unenrolled or enrolled in a different political designation. The bill also limits the number of members from the same political party on the board of registrars, with only one member allowed to not be from the two leading political parties.
