An Act relative to nonprofit remote voting

This bill allows nonprofit organizations in Massachusetts to hold member meetings remotely or in a hybrid format that combines in-person and virtual attendance. Under the new rules, nonprofits can authorize remote participation through their board of directors, enabling members to join meetings via technology without needing to be physically present. To ensure integrity, the legislation requires organizations to verify the identity of remote voters, provide real-time access to meeting proceedings, and keep records of all remote votes. These changes apply to annual, regular, and special meetings unless the organization's existing bylaws or articles of organization state otherwise.
