HD 2710 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to candidate information on ballots

HD 2710 amends Massachusetts ballot laws to require that candidates' town or city of residence (not their full street address) appear next to their name on ballots for all elective offices, wards, town committees, state committees, and caucus offices. The bill removes specific requirements for listing a candidate's street address, street number, or the street name where they reside. These changes apply to sections of the General Laws governing ballot designations in Chapters 53 and 54. The bill directly affects all candidates running for office in Massachusetts by altering the residence information printed on official ballots.
