The election is today! What will YOU do to protect Democracy?

get out the vote poster

I know most of you reading this have already voted BUT if you haven’t THE POLLS ARE OPEN UNTIL 8 PM. If you know someone who hasn’t voted, please share this information.

Here’s a link to a voting information flyer with resources that folks may still find helpful.

Here’s a link to a sample ballot for Massachusetts for statewide offices  For the candidates who will be on the ballot for your local offices (State Senate and State House of Representatives, for example), go to https://myactivote.com/.

Here are some last minute tips:

  • You need to vote at your assigned polling place. You can look it up at this website:  WheredoIvotema.com.  
  • If you have a mail-in ballot, it’s too late to bring it to the post office but you can find a drop box or if you already mailed it, track its status at mailmyballotma.com. 
  • If you had put your ballot in the mail and you find that it has not yet been processed by your local election office, you can go to the polling site in person and explain the situation.  You may be able to file a “provisional ballot”.  If your ballot was not processed by the deadline, your provisional ballot could be counted.
  • If you are registered to vote but you didn’t return the local census form, you may be asked to provide identification in order to vote to show where you live and are eligible to vote in that town/city.

For other questions and information, contact the City or Town Clerk where you live or 1-800-462-VOTE (8683) for the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A VOTER!
