All Massachusetts voters can cast a ballot ahead of Election Day
BOSTON — 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, dyrektor wykonawczy Common Cause Massachusetts. “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, Kliknij tutaj.
This year, Common Cause Massachusetts and our coalition partners spearheaded the passage of the Ustawa o głosowaniu, 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.
W 2020 r. w całym kraju elektorat pobił rekordy wczesnego głosowania, oddając prawie 70% wyborców oddających głos pocztą i/lub przed dniem wyborów. Podzielenie tej liczby na około 43% wyborców oddało głosy korespondencyjnie, a inny 26% głosowali osobiście przed dniem wyborów. Wybory w 2020 r. były najwyższym wskaźnikiem niekonwencjonalnego głosowania w wyborach prezydenckich, według US Census Bureau.
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, I 23% voted early.
