An Act to fairly fund early voting

This bill amends Massachusetts election laws to require the state to reimburse cities and towns for the full costs of mandated early voting procedures and operations. Under the new provisions, the state treasurer must annually pay these reimbursement funds by July 1st following an election, and local municipalities are allowed to create specific Early Voting Reimbursement Funds to manage these payments. The legislation also updates the legal text to explicitly include the process for seeking and approving these reimbursements within the relevant state statutes.
