S 406 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

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 councillor" in official ballot descriptions. By adding this specific phrase to two existing sections of the state's election code, the legislation ensures that the role is clearly identified for voters. The change is purely textual and does not alter the duties of the office or the election process itself.
