An Act relative to district city council election in the city of Boston

This bill establishes specific deadlines for nomination papers and withdrawals for the 2023 Boston District City Council elections while leaving the dates for City Councilor At Large elections unchanged. It ensures that signatures collected under the old district map remain valid for the new districts, provided candidates meet residency requirements, and confirms that any election actions already taken by city officials are legally valid. Additionally, the legislation grants the Boston Elections Commission the authority to adjust preliminary election dates with state approval and requires public notice of any such changes.
