VOTE ABSENTEE
Massachusetts has absentee voting for certain groups of people including those who cannot make it to the polls on Election Day for one of the following reasons: physical disability, religious beliefs, or absence from their city or town on Election Day. To have a ballot mailed to you, you must apply in writing to your city or town clerk or election commission. Although the deadline to apply for absentee ballots is noon on the day before Eletion Day, it is highly recommended that you submit the application as soon as possible. The clerk must then receive the completed ballot by the close of polls on Election Day in order for it to be counted.

For the latest information on where, when and how to vote absentee contact your local board of elections.
