An Act relative to uniformity of ballots in polling places

HD 2766 requires all Massachusetts election ballots to be uniform in size, material, and content for every voter, whether using a paper ballot or a ballot-marking device. Exceptions are permitted only to comply with federal law or accommodate specific voting/tabulation methods. The bill also mandates that ballots be tabulated directly from voter-marked selections, not from barcodes, QR codes, or other non-voter-marked representations. This law applies to all statewide and local elections in Massachusetts, standardizing ballot handling procedures.
