All eligible voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day 

ΜΑΣΑΧΟΥΣΕΤΗ- Voters can cast a ballot in the 2024 November election starting tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 19. Early voting in-person is available from Saturday Oct. 19 through Friday Nov. 1. To find early voting locations and times, voters should visit the Secretary of State’s website.

“This is the first presidential election since COVID where voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day,” said Geoff Foster, Common Cause Massachusetts Executive Director. “We encourage everyone not to wait until Election Day to cast a ballot and join the tens of thousands of voters who will participate in early voting in this election.”

Common Cause Massachusetts is part of a national election protection coalition designed to recruit, train, and mobilize volunteers to assist voters at the polls. The coalition also runs the national nonpartisan voter assistance hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE. Voters who experience any challenges or have questions with any part of the voting process are encouraged to call or text the hotline to connect with experts who can help. 

The nonpartisan voter assistance hotline is available in the following languages: 

• ΑΓΓΛΙΚΟΣ: 866-Η-ΨΗΦΟΣ ΜΑΣ / 866-687-8683  

• ΙΣΠΑΝΙΚΑ: 888-VE-Y-VOTA / 888-839-8682  

• ΑΣΙΑΤΙΚΕΣ ΓΛΩΣΣΕΣ: 888-API-VOTE / 888-274-8683  

• ΑΡΑΒΙΚΟΣ: 844-YALLA-US / 844-925-5287 

Σε εθνικό επίπεδο το 2020, το εκλογικό σώμα έσπασε τα ρεκόρ πρόωρης ψηφοφορίας με σχεδόν 70% των ψηφοφόρων που ψηφίζουν μέσω ταχυδρομείου ή/και πριν από την ημέρα των εκλογών. Σπάζοντας αυτό το σχήμα, περίπου 43% των ψηφοφόρων έριξαν ψηφοδέλτια ταχυδρομικώς, και ένα άλλο 26% ψηφίστηκε αυτοπροσώπως πριν από την ημέρα των εκλογών. Οι εκλογές του 2020 ήταν το υψηλότερο ποσοστό μη παραδοσιακών ψηφοφοριών για προεδρικές εκλογές, σύμφωνα με το Γραφείο Απογραφής των ΗΠΑ.

In 2022, Common Cause Massachusetts and a coalition of organizations spearheaded the passage of the VOTES Act, a comprehensive election reform package that expanded early voting. Common Cause first championed expanding early voting in 2014, broadening the time Massachusetts voters can cast ahead of Election Day.
