Everyone in Massachusetts can vote by mail in 2020, no absentee ballot required! Keep yourself and your loved ones safe while doing your civic duty by voting by mail.
You should have already received a ballot application in the mail. If you have not, click here to download one. Applications should be turned int by August 26 in order to receive a primary ballot and by October 28 in order to receive a general election ballot. Simply fill out the ballot application, indicating which ballots you would like to receive, and send the pre-addressed card to your local clerk. No postage required!
When you receive your ballot, fill it out and return it as soon as possible. Your ballot will come with a pre-stamped and pre-addressed envelope. We have already seen that Trump feels threatened by the free and fair election that vote by mail will give us, and he has started to move his authoritarian machinery to slow the delivery of mail.
Primary ballots must reach your local election office by 8 PM on September 1st. General election ballots must be postmarked no later than November 3rd and must reach your local election office no later than November 6th.
If you decide you don’t want to vote by mail after applying for a ballot, you can still vote in person! Vote early, vote by mail, vote in person… just whatever you do, don’t forget to VOTE!
