Right to Repair Coalition Exceeds Massachusetts Ballot Petition Signature Goal

Obtaining these signatures was the final step in the signature gathering process required to put the Motor Vehicle Owner's Right to Repair Act issue on the ballot in Massachusetts.

BOSTON – The Right to Repair Coalition announced that it has achieved its final goal of attaining 20,000 voter signatures in its ballot campaign. The coalition said it gathered well above the 11,000 signatures required, and in all, has gathered a total of 126,000 signatures.
 
Obtaining these signatures was the final step in the signature gathering process required to put the Motor Vehicle Owner’s Right to Repair Act issue on the ballot in Massachusetts. The final batch of certified signatures will be delivered to the Secretary of State’s office ahead of the early July deadline.
 
“We are thrilled that this consumer legislation has easily surpassed the final signature requirement, ahead of the deadline,” said Art Kinsman, spokesman of the Massachusetts Right to Repair Coalition. “Motoring consumers have demonstrated their strong support for Right to Repair and are ready to begin saving money on their car repairs and giving them more choice on where they can have their cars repaired when Right to Repair passes.”
