S 427 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the board of registrars

This bill amends Massachusetts election law to limit the number of political party members on the Board of Registrars of Voters. It ensures that no single political party, including city or town clerks, can have more than two representatives on the board. The rule applies to the initial appointment of board members, as well as to future appointments and the filling of any vacancies. This change aims to prevent any one party from holding a majority of seats on the board.
