Yesterday, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association announced that they will be working together to ensure that incarcerated eligible voters in Massachusetts are able exercise their right to vote. The League and our partners in the Election Protection Behind Bars Coalition are proud to support this initiative to improve access to the ballot box for incarcerated voters.
