About Early Voting
Massachusetts now has early voting for all state primaries and elections! Early voting is a way for you to vote before Election Day, at your own convenience. You can vote early in-person or by mail.
To vote early in person, visit an early voting site in your city or town during the early voting period.
2022 Early Voting Period
Early voting for the November 8, 2022 State Election will be held October 22 – November 4.
Early Voting Schedules
Each city and town chooses their own early voting locations and sets their own schedules, but every community needs to offer early voting for a minimum number of hours, which is based on the number of voters in that city or town. All communities are also required to offer weekend early voting hours.
Early voting schedules and locations for the November 8, 2022 State Election will be available at least 5 days before the start of the early voting period.
Remember that early voting may not be available in your city or town on every day of the early voting period. Check your community’s schedule when available to make a plan to vote.
Counting Early Ballots
Remember, your ballot is considered to be cast once you give it to an election official and it has been accepted. Once you have voted, you cannot take back your early ballot or vote again.
Cities and towns may begin tabulating early and absentee ballots before Election Day, but no results can be known until after polls are closed.
All ballot counting takes place in public. Ballots will only be removed from their envelopes during public counting sessions at central tabulation facilities and at polling places on Election Day.
