HD 118 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to inactive voters and municipal census administration

This bill amends a state law to change how municipal election officials identify inactive voters. It replaces the requirement that voters be marked inactive after "of the current year" with "for 2 consecutive years," meaning voters who haven't participated in elections for two years in a row will now be considered inactive. This directly affects voters who haven't cast a ballot in two consecutive election cycles and municipal officials managing voter registration records. The change streamlines the process for updating inactive voter lists without adding new requirements or penalties.
