HD 2103 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act assuring that polling places are accessible to elderly and physically challenged voters

This bill establishes a permanent "Polling Location Accessibility Fund" to help cities and towns improve voting access for elderly and physically challenged voters. The fund, financed by annual appropriations and donations, provides competitive grants for physical modifications to polling locations (like removing barriers) and programs aimed at increasing voting participation among these groups during state and federal elections. Grants are administered by the state secretary, who decides awards based on published rules and available funding. Unspent funds carry over annually, ensuring continuous support for accessibility efforts.
