HD 2040 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to improving elections

House Bill 2040 modifies Massachusetts election scheduling by requiring all elections to be held on Saturdays (previously unspecified) and shortening the early voting period. It amends Chapter 51, Section 31 to specify "Saturday" for Election Day and changes Chapter 54, Section 25B to move the early voting deadline from the 17th to the 10th day before elections. These changes directly affect all Massachusetts voters participating in state elections. The bill makes specific procedural adjustments to election dates without altering voting access or registration rules.
