Two Elections Scheduled for Tuesday September 4th
On Tuesday, September 4th voters will be able to participate in the Special State Primary and Special Town Election simultaneously. Voters will be considering candidates in their respective party (Unenrolled voters will be able to choose a party for the primary) to replace Congressman Marty Meehan on one ballot and whether to fund the design, engineering, as well as the renovation and/or expansion of the Cameron Senior Center through a debt exclusion borrowing on another ballot. There will be two separate check-in tables and check out tables so be sure to go to both tables if you wish to cast a vote for both elections, as they will be on two separate ballots.
The Voter registration deadline for both elections is Wednesday, August 15th at 8:00pm. Currently there are four official parties in Massachusetts that will be holding primaries on September 4th. They are Democrat, Republican, Green-Rainbow and Working Families. Political designations are not considered political parties. Unenrolled voters are registered voters without party affiliation and may participate in the primary of their choosing. If you are unsure about your party affiliation, please check with the Town Clerk's Office.
Absentee Ballot applications for the September 4th Special State Primary and Special Town Election are available online and at the Town Clerk's Office
If you will be out of town or are unable to get to the polls on election day, you may vote by absentee ballot. You need to apply in writing in person or by mail and we will mail an absentee ballot to you or family member once we have received them (usually 20 days prior to election day); you may also vote at the counter at that time. Absentee ballot applications are available at the Town Clerk's Office and may be downloaded from the Secretary of State's website at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleifv/howabs.htm. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot for the September 4th elections is 5pm on Friday, August 31st. If you wish to receive absentee ballots for both elections, please check the boxes for a primary and an election under
item 1. If you are an Unenrolled voter, please let us know which party ballot you would like for the primary.
Help needed with tallying on election day
We are in need of a few more closers on election day. If you are interested in helping out with tallying (most ballots are tabulated by machine) on Tuesday, September 4th (reporting to the polling place at 8:00pm for 1 - 2 hours), please contact the Town Clerk's Office.
