Register to Vote

Any person who is a Massachusetts resident, a United States citizen, and will be eighteen years old as of the next election, is eligible to register to vote. First time voters in Massachusetts must provide a copy of their identification if registering to vote by mail. If no ID is provided, they will be required to show proof of residency at the polling location on Election Day. When signing the registration form, residents must attest, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that they are legally eligible to register and that the information provided is accurate and truthful. The penalty for fraudulent registration increased recently to a fine of ten thousand dollars or imprisonment for up to five years, or both.

Residents will remain on the list of voters if they vote regularly and complete and return the annual municipal census.  When moving to another city or town, please re-register in your new community.

Register to vote or check your voter status online via the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s online registration portal. Please be aware the voter registration deadlines still apply.

Branches of the state Registry of Motor Vehicles, social service agencies, and military recruitment offices provide voter registration services.

In Massachusetts, registered voters may choose to enroll in a political party, enroll with a political designation or choose to be an unenrolled voter (independent).

All registered voters may vote in general elections. Massachusetts voters enrolled in a particular party may vote only in that party's primary, and cannot vote in another party's primary. Unenrolled voters may cast a primary ballot for any one of the parties. Political designations are treated as "unenrolled" voters for primary purposes, and so they too may choose to vote in any one of the party primaries.

Registration Deadlines

Residents must register to vote at least 10 (ten) days before any Town or State Election or the Presidential Primary. For additional information call the Town Clerk at (978) 688-9501.
