Massachusetts H4108 amends election laws to address vacancies in state representative or senator positions if a deceased candidate wins the general.

Massachusetts H4108 amends the state's election laws to handle situations where a candidate for state representative or state senator dies after the primary election but before the general election. If such a deceased candidate receives the most votes in the general election and the vacancy has not been filled, it will be considered a failure to elect. Consequently, a new election will be held to fill the vacancy, following the procedures outlined in section 147 of chapter 54.
