An Act relative to specially qualified voters
This bill reorganizes the definition of "specially qualified voter" within Massachusetts election law by removing one category and renumbering the remaining one. The change directly affects how the state legally identifies individuals who have been granted special voting status. By deleting subsection (ii) and shifting subsection (iii) to that position, the legislation simplifies the statutory language governing this specific group. The bill does not create new voting rights or alter eligibility criteria, but rather updates the existing definition to reflect current legal categories.
