An Act relative to reprecincting

This bill updates Massachusetts election laws to change how local voting precincts are drawn and managed following the decennial redistricting of congressional and state legislative districts. It requires the Local Election Districts Review Commission to wait until the governor approves new legislative district maps before finalizing local ward and precinct boundaries, while also limiting the use of strict mathematical formulas for population equality in municipal precincts. The legislation mandates greater transparency by requiring the commission and state secretary to publish meeting minutes, draft maps, and detailed geographic data on their websites for public access. Additionally, the bill adjusts deadlines for submitting and approving new precinct maps, moving the submission window to 30 days after the governor's approval of legislative districts and setting primary election deadlines 14 days before the vote.
