Massachusetts H832 mandates uniform ballots in size, material, and content for all voters in polling places.

Massachusetts H832 amends the General Laws to require ballots to be uniform in size, material, and content for all voters, whether they are voted on a ballot-marking device or directly on paper. Exceptions are allowed for compliance with federal law, accommodating voting or tabulating, or hand count tabulation methods. The bill ensures ballots are tabulated directly from voter-marked selections, not from barcodes, QR codes, or other representations not marked by the voter.
