Re-precincting Boston – Remove Boston’s outdated special exemption from re-precincting after the Federal Census. Lack of re-precincting in Boston causes long lines of voters on Election Day and wastes funds and resources by having precincts of significantly different sizes. The Boston City Council sent a home-rule petition to the State House in 2011 requesting the removal of this exemption. (Rep. Michlewitz HD 674)
