Massachusetts Election-Day Registration Hearing

On May 30, the Massachusetts Joint Election Laws Committee heard testimony on HB646 and SB446. No one testified against the bills. They would legalize election-day registration. Elections officials from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Maine all testified that it works well in their states. Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin also testified in favor, although he warned that it would cost money since he wants two additional precinct officials in each precinct, to handle the extra work.
