EARLY VOTING (by mail or in person) FAQ: 

Q: If I applied for a vote by mail ballot can I appear to vote in person at an early voting site or at the polls on Election Day? 

A: If your vote by mail ballot has not been received back to the Town Clerk’s Office – YES, you may  still appear to vote in person at the polls on Election Day. These voters will be required to complete additional paperwork and will need to show an ID. Should your mail in ballot be received after you voted early in person or at the polls on Election Day, that ballot will be rejected and will not be counted 

If a vote by mail ballot has already been received back by the Town Clerk’s Office – NO.  A returned vote by mail ballot is considered cast and you will not be eligible to vote by mail, early in person or in person at the polls on Election Day. 

Q: If I vote early in person can I appear to vote in person at the polls on Election Day? 

A: NO – If you appeared to vote early in person, your ballot will be considered cast and you will not be eligible to vote by mail, or in person at the polls on Election Day. Voting in person at the polls after submitting an early ballot is prohibited as outlined in 950 CMR 4 7.19. 

Q: When & how is an early voter’s ballot cast? 

A: All vote by mail and early voting in person ballots will be opened and inserted into a tabulator before election day or fed through the tabulators at the polls on election day. These ballots will be kept secured, locked, and unexamined until the polls are closed on Election Day.
