HB 613 (2025)

Allow opt-out for accessible voting systems

This bill did not become law.

Last updated 2025-12-07 4:36 pm
Summary:

Allows SB2 towns, which use a town-wide ballot instead of the traditional one-day town meeting, to give voters the option of a reduced default budget.

The House rewrote the bill to instead create a process for a city, town, or school district to opt out of providing an accessible voting system, unless a voter contacts them at least 60 days before an election.

A conference committee of representatives and senators agreed on a similar version of a final bill.
