On May 23, 2024, the Massachusetts Senate passed an amendment aimed at making voting more accessible by ending the penalty for voters who do not return the municipal census. Senator Cindy Creem’s “Improving Voting Access” amendment is expected to be included in the final Senate budget and will be negotiated by House and Senate conferees. A similar amendment had received support from 81 cosponsors in the House but was not included in its budget.
