Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book serves as a historic and practical guide to elections within Boston at the turn of the 20th century. The text introduces the reader to the relevant portions of law passed by the Massachusetts state legislature in 1893, which served to expand voting rights by implementing literacy tests and the establishment of a board to oversee elections. The book is then further divided into three titles. The first contains general provisions of the new laws pertaining to voter qualifications, the creation of the board of election commissioners, and the assessment of poll taxes. The second title focuses on details of voter registration, including the actions taken by the board to ensure voters met the residency requirements and were not registered multiple times. The final section details the preparation and distribution of voting lists, as well as the handling of special cases. The book concludes by defining terms related to caucuses that would be held under the new law. The text provides an invaluable overview of the efforts to expand voting rights at the time, and would be of interest to legal historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of Boston.
