Dear Voter:
This year, to help voters participate I implemented new procedures to give voters more options. All voters have the option to vote by mail, while those who choose to vote in person will have expanded early voting dates to choose from. Early voting dates will be held from October 22 - November 4. On Election Day, all polling places will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
If you have not yet registered to vote or need to re-register because you moved, you can register to vote online at www.VoteInMA.com. State law requires that you must register by October 29, 2022 to have your name appear on the voting list. You can also check your voter registration status on our website as well.
There will be at least three binding statewide ballot questions appearing on the state election ballot. The 2022 official Information for Voters booklet lists each question with the text of the proposed law or amendment, statements describing the effect of a yes or no vote, a summary, and brief argument for and against each question. This information will assist you in making a thoughtful decision before you vote. You can even take this booklet with you into the voting booth if you wish.This booklet contains important information for the upcoming election. The choices you make in this election are going to shape the course of government for our nation, state and local communities. The leadership that you select will make important decisions affecting you and your family. I urge you to participate in this process because your vote matters.
Please VOTE and exercise the most essential right of our democratic system.
Very truly yours,
William Francis Galvin
Secretary of the Commonwealth
