Voter Registration

As of June 2015 You may now register to vote on-line
Further voter Registration information can be found here

Any person who is a Massachusetts resident, a United States citizen and will be eighteen years old as of the next election is eligible to register to vote. You do not need a driver's license or any other form of identification to register. However, when you sign the registration form, you must attest, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that you are legally eligible to register and that the information you provide is accurate and truthful. The penalty for fraudulent registration has increased recently to a fine of ten thousand dollars or imprisonment for up to five years or both. When you register, you may choose to become a member of a political party, select a designation for a political organization which has not achieved party status in the state, or choose to become an "un-enrolled" voter (commonly referred to as "independent"). Remember that if you register in a party or select a political organization designation, in a primary election you may receive a ballot for only that party. Un-enrolled voters may request any ballot in a primary election. There are no primary election ballots for political designations.

You will remain on the list of voters as long as you vote regularly and complete and return the annual municipal census. If you move to another city or town or state, you must re-register in your new community. You should also send a letter to the old Town’s clerk. Any and all registered voters must sign the letter to be deleted.

Registration Deadlines
Be aware that there are voter registration deadlines. You must register to vote at least twenty (20) days before any Town or State election, Annual Town Meeting, or the Presidential Primary. You must register to vote at least ten (10) days before any Special Town Meeting.
