Governor Healey has signed a new gun reform bill into law, aimed at enhancing public safety and ensuring safer elections in Massachusetts. The legislation includes a ban on guns within 150 feet of polling sites during election day and the early voting period, aligning with the existing electioneering buffer zone. This measure has been a legislative priority for Common Cause Massachusetts members.
“Guns don’t belong anywhere near a voting booth or within the 150-foot electioneering zone around a polling location. At a time with heightened fear of political violence, Governor Healey and the Massachusetts Legislature are sending a clear message that voters will be able to cast a ballot without fear in the Bay State,” said Geoff Foster, Executive Director of Common Cause Massachusetts.
The full text of the bill is available for public review.
