From the Town Clerk: Early Voting for November election

From the office of the Wayland Town Clerk: Early voting for the November 6, 2018 State Election will begin on October 22 and continue through November 2, 2018. Prior to the enactment of this new law, the only way a registered voter was allowed to vote prior to Election Day was through absentee voting. Absentee voting will still be available for registered voters who qualify.

Regardless of whether a voter wants to take advantage of early voting, vote absentee or vote on Election Day, the first step is making sure you are registered. To check to see if you are registered to vote, and to find information on how to register to vote, you may visit the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website: www.sec.state.ma.us/ele. If you need to register to vote, you may do it online by visiting: www.RegisterToVoteMA.com. All you need is a license or an I.D. issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles to apply online. To be eligible to vote in the November 6 State Election, you must register to vote or make any necessary changes to your voter registration by October 17, 2018. Early voting can be done in person or by mail. You do not need an application if you are voting in person. In Wayland, early voting for all residents will be held at the Wayland Town Building during the following
dates and times:
