An Act relative to the qualification of voters

This bill modifies Massachusetts voting laws to clarify which specific felony convictions disqualify individuals from voting. It directly affects people with criminal records by explicitly listing certain violent crimes under Chapter 265 and life imprisonment offenses as grounds for voter disqualification. The key provision amends the state's election code to insert these specific categories into the list of offenses that prevent a person from being registered as a voter. By narrowing the scope of disqualifying crimes to these particular serious offenses, the legislation aims to define more precisely who is ineligible to vote due to a felony conviction.
