House Session Summary - Wednesday, Jan. 26
1/26/22 12:48 PM
Gearing up for a debate over voting access and election reforms, the House on Wednesday advanced a redrafted version of the VOTES Act that would make permanent popular COVID-19 pandemic reforms such as voting-by-mail, but stops short of making Massachusetts one of 20 other states that allow voters to register and cast their ballots in person on the same day. The bill (H 4359) is slated to hit the floor for debate on Thursday when lawmakers are expected to offer amendments, including ones that would add same-day registration to the legislation.
