How to Vote
Registered voters who want to cast their ballot in person can vote early or on Primary Election Day. Early voting availability in Massachusetts varies by city and town. To find out how to vote early in your municipality, use the Secretary of State’s online tool.
Individuals who applied for mail-in voting can return their ballots using the United States Postal Service. Mail-in ballots must reach local elections offices by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Officials recommended that voters allow at least seven days for delivery through the mail. If you haven’t sent yours yet, the ballot can be dropped off at your local election office, an early voting location, or a ballot drop box.
Polling locations will not accept mail-in ballots on Election Day.
