VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR THE NOVEMBER 3RD STATE ELECTION IS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH.

The Town Clerk’s Office will be available for a voter registration session on Oct. 24th from 9:00AM to 4:00PM & 7:00PM to 8:00PM

You may submit an application to register or pre-register to vote in Massachusetts if:

Pre-registering to Vote: Though you must be 18 years old to vote, you may pre-register to vote once you are 16 years old. If you are 16 or 17 years old, you may submit a voter registration form to your local election official, who will then place your name on the list of pre-registrants. You will receive a pre-registration notice by mail, confirming receipt of your application. Pre-registration may be done online, by mail, or in person at any voter registration location (see above). Once you become old enough to vote, your local election will mail you an acknowledgement notice, which is confirmation that your name has been moved from the list of pre-registrants to the list of registered voters. Your acknowledgement notice will include your party affiliation and the location of your polling place.

If you meet the above requirements, you may apply online http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleidx.htm, by mail, or in-person.
