An Act relative to gender neutral language in elections law
This bill updates election law to use gender-neutral language throughout Chapter 53 of the General Laws. It replaces gendered terms like "him," "his," "he," "chairman," and "alderman" with neutral alternatives such as "them," "their," "they," "chairperson," and "alderperson." The changes apply specifically to election statutes, including voter registration forms, candidate information, and election official titles. The bill makes no substantive policy changes but ensures the language used in election law is inclusive and non-gendered.
