Voters who register by mail may be required to show a valid ID at the polls. It is advisable to all voters to bring valid indentification to the polls.
In a primary election, voters who are registered in a political party are restricted to the ballot for the party in which they are registered. "Unenrolled voters" (commonly referred to as independent voters) may request the ballot of any party participating in the primary election. You can visit the Elections Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth's website for further information at www.state.ma.us/sec.
Contact the Town Clerk for voter registration, and for change of party cards if you wish to change your political affiliation. Forms are available at the Town Hall.
