All Massachusetts voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day 

보스턴 — Massachusetts voters can make their voices heard in the November 8 midterm election beginning this Saturday, October 22 through Friday, November 4. Voters can cast a ballot in-person or by mail. The state requires that early voting begins 17 days before state biennial elections and 10 days before presidential or state primary elections. 

“In a strong and healthy democracy, every voter’s voice is heard, and every voice counts equally,” said Geoff Foster, Common Cause Massachusetts 대표 이사. “Early voting improves access for all hardworking voters, especially for our first responders, nurses, and teachers who can’t always make it to the polls on Election Day. We want to encourage everyone to vote early and all the way down the ballot so we all have a say in what happens in the Commonwealth.”  

In Massachusetts, each city and town sets its own voting locations and the hours for each location. However, each city and town is required to offer early voting for a minimum number of hours. To find early voting locations and hours by city or town, 여기를 클릭하세요.  

This year, Common Cause Massachusetts and our coalition partners spearheaded the passage of the 투표법, a comprehensive election reform package that expanded early voting. Common Cause Massachusetts first championed expanding early voting in 2014, broadening the time Massachusetts voters can cast ahead of Election Day. 

2020년 전국적으로 유권자들은 거의 100%에 가까운 조기 투표 기록을 경신했습니다. 70% 우편으로 또는 선거일 전에 투표용지를 던지는 유권자의 수입니다. 그 수치를 분석하면, 43% 유권자의 1/3은 우편으로 투표를 했고 또 다른 1/3은 26% 선거일 전에 직접 투표했습니다. 미국 인구조사국에 따르면 2020년 선거는 대선에서 비전통적 투표율이 가장 높았습니다.  

In Massachusetts, voters had three options to cast a ballot in 2020: early by mail, early in person, and in person on Election Day. Statewide, 41% voted by mail, 그리고 23% voted early.
