As Congressman McGovern said at the Worcester rally on January 6th, “2024 is going to be a tumultuous election year.  The stakes are higher than ever.”  Take action now to be ready to vote by mail in the MARCH 5th primary and other elections this year.  

WHY VOTE BY MAIL?

  • Give yourself time at home to explore candidates’ views and voting records
  • Just in case you are unable to vote in person on voting days due to illness, etc.
  • Voting early makes sure you get the job done!

DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR 2024 VOTE BY MAIL APPLICATION?

  • They were sent out a few weeks ago.
  • “Unenrolled” (aka Independent) voters need to decide which party’s ballot they want: Democrat, Republican or Libertarian for the Presidential and State primaries.
  • You can choose to receive the ballots for all the 2024 state and federal elections or just a specific election.
  • Requesting a mail-in ballot does not obligate you to vote by mail but you’ll be ready if you need to or want to.
