Voting by Mail:
In most elections in Massachusetts, you can choose whether you prefer to vote in person or by mail. No excuse early voting is available for State elections, State primaries, Presidential primaries, and most local elections.
These ballots are known as Vote by Mail ballots and can be requested by completing a Vote by Mail application. The Town Clerk's Office sends out Vote by Mail application forms with the census mailing in January. There is also a link to this application below for your convenience.
Application Deadline:
Your vote by mail application must be received by the Town Clerk's Office no later than 5 pm on the fifth business day before the election. Apply as early as possible, especially if your ballot will need to be mailed out of town. The postal service recommends allowing up to seven days for mail delivery.
To ensure that you receive your ballot with enough time to mail it back, you should apply 2-3 weeks before the election.
Returning your Ballot:
You may return your ballot mailing it back in the provided envelope, hand-delivering it to the Town Clerk's Office, or by dropping it in the Town Hall dropbox built into the wall to the right of the main door of Town Hall.
