The November 5th election is here today.  For many of us, there is nothing else to do except wait patiently for the results.  Tend to yourself with care and trust the system.  For those working the polls, may all go well and may all be safe and free from harm.  For those who have not yet voted, READ ON:

Most of the information you need for voting can be found here:  https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/elections-and-voting.htm 

If you sent your ballot in by mail, use the tracker to see if your ballot was accepted.  If not, go vote in person and let election officials know your circumstances.  You may be able to vote with a provisional ballot. If you did not return your mail-in ballot, you can still go vote in person or put it in a designated drop box by 8 PM today, Election Day.

Polling hours on Election Day, November 5th:  7 am to 8 pm.  You can find your assigned polling place here, 

If you would like a deep dive into who will be on your ballot and where candidates stand on important issues, use this interactive tool, Activote:  https://myactivote.com/#home

Be aware, if you have not returned your local annual census, you may be considered “inactive” on the voter rolls and need to provide proof of residency with your current address (ex. driver’s license, electric or gas bill) when you go to vote.

The Get Out the Vote Team wants to help you in any way we can for you to be an active participant in this year’s General Election. So much is at stake: protecting our democracy, fighting climate change, access to abortion and reproductive healthcare nationally, access to affordable healthcare and more.

Please share this information with your friends and family and help make the world a better place for all, one voter at a time.
