HD 3674 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to election ballots

This bill updates two sections of election law to require all official ballots to match the standard defined in section 44 of the same law. It amends Chapter 54, Section 25B and Section 87 to replace outdated references with identical language specifying that ballots must be "identical in all respects" to the standard designated in section 44. The change ensures consistency across election procedures by aligning references to ballot standards. It directly affects election officials responsible for ballot design and printing, requiring them to follow the established section 44 standard. The bill makes a technical correction to existing law without altering ballot content or voting procedures.
