Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin to Release Voting Reports for Incarcerated Individuals
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin has agreed to release long-overdue reports on voting by people in jails and prisons during the 2024 elections. The reports will provide data on how many incarcerated individuals requested ballots and whether they received them. This settles a lawsuit from two legal groups who pushed for the data to track jail-based voting. The reports are crucial for checking if the law works and holding officials accountable, as advocates argue thousands of people behind bars might be eligible to vote in state races. Galvins office plans to release the reports by June first, three months before the next primary, emphasizing the need for accuracy to avoid mistakes in identifying voters.
