Massachusetts H820 ensures accessibility for voters with disabilities by enforcing compliance with state and federal laws.

Massachusetts H820 amends Chapter 54 of the General Laws to ensure compliance with federal and state laws concerning accessibility for voters with disabilities. It mandates that an agent of the state inspect polling places and early voting sites at least once every four years, reporting any failures to comply with accessibility laws. The state secretary can order non-compliant cities or towns to take immediate action and submit a written plan for compliance. The bill also allows for civil actions in the superior court to enforce compliance.
