An Act clarifying the role of Governor’s Councillor on the ballot
This bill amends Massachusetts election laws to explicitly include the title "governor's" when referring to the Governor's Councillor on official ballots. The change ensures that the position is clearly identified alongside other elected offices, such as congressman, to avoid confusion for voters. By updating specific sections of the state's general laws, the legislation standardizes how this role appears on election materials without altering the duties or powers of the office itself.
