ALERT: Due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) all registered voters in Massachusetts may vote by mail in any 2020 election, no excuse required. A vote by mail application will be mailed to every voter who is registered by July 1st and has not already requested an absentee ballot for the State Primary in September. A second mailing will go out to all voters in September for the November General Election. You must return the vote by mail application by 4 business days before the election (August 26th for the Primary and October 28 for the General), though you are strongly encouraged to return your application as soon as possible to ensure you receive your mail ballot. For more information, contact your Secretary of the Commonwealth.
