HD 78 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to public information requests

This bill (HD 78) requires Massachusetts election registrars to send three specific voter lists - standard voting lists, absentee voting lists, and specially qualified voter lists - to the state secretary. These lists will become public records held by the state secretary, allowing anyone to request copies or inspections following standard public records procedures under Chapter 66. The bill directly affects voters (whose information appears on these lists) and election officials who must now submit the lists electronically. It does not change voting eligibility or procedures, only the process for accessing these existing voter lists as public records.
