Absentee ballots available for Presidential Primary
According to Town Clerk Tracy Kenney, absentee ballots for the March 3 Presidential Primary are now available. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is Monday, March 2, at noon. Absentee ballots are available for registered voters who will be unable to vote at the polls on Primary Day due to absence from the town during normal polling hours (7 a.m. to 8 p.m.), physical disability preventing them from going to the polling place, or religious beliefs. Registered voters must fill out an absentee ballot application, which will allow them to complete a ballot at the Town Clerk’s office or to have an absentee ballot mailed to them. All completed absentee ballots must be received at the Town Clerk’s office by the close of polls on Primary Day.
Town Hall is handicapped accessible and there is an ADA-compliant ballot marking device available in the Town Clerk’s office which provides autonomy to voters who may have a disability or condition that makes it difficult to traditionally mark a ballot. For more information, call 781-821-5013.
