The last day to register for the Nov. 5 State/Presidential Election was Sat. Oct 26.

Nov. 5 Sample Ballot is available here.

Review the five (5) 2024 Ballot Questions – Information for Voters published by the Secretary of the Commonwealth https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/download/research-and-statistics/IFV_2024.pdf

There are 3 options for voting in the Nov. 5 Election:

  1. VOTE AT THE POLLS – on Nov. 5 at the HW Recreation Center gymnasium, 16 Union St.  Polls are open from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm
  2. VOTE BY MAIL – The Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Elections Division mailed postcard applications for Vote by Mail for 2024 elections. If you selected “All 2024 Elections,” you will receive a mailed ballot for the Nov. 5 State Election.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO APPLY AGAIN. Please sign the postcard or we will have to reject the application.
    • Last day to request a mailed ballot was Tue. Oct 29.
    • The returned mailed ballot must be postmarked by Tue, Nov. 5 and received by Fri, Nov. 8.  If possible, please return the ballot as soon as possible.  The ballot can be dropped off at the Town drop box at the parking lot of the Senior Center/Council on Aging or at the Clerk’s Office during business hours.  We ask that you avoid dropping the ballot in the mail.  Many ballots for the Presidential Primary (28), the Annual Town Election (15), and the State Primary (12) were rejected because they arrived too late. And, please, be sure to sign the envelope before returning it.
    • If you have a mailed ballot, YES you can decide to instead vote in person at the polls.  Do not bring your mailed ballot with you to the polls.
  3. VOTE EARLY – Early Voting will be held at the Temporary Town Hall at the Patton Homestead, 650 Asbury Street.  Click here to print the schedule.
