PEABODY, MA — The Massachusetts state primary is Tuesday, Sept. 1, but the election will be much different this year, thanks to the coronavirus. This year voters have the option of voting in-person on election day, as well as early voting and mail-in voting options.
The last day to register to vote for the Sept. 1 primary election is Saturday Aug. 22.
You can check your voting status on the Secretary of State’s Website. You can also use the Website to find your polling place. If you missed the deadline to register to vote, make sure you register for future elections.
Vote By Mail
Voters can request a mail-in ballot up until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 26 by completing and returning the mail-in ballot application. Completed mail-in ballots can be returned using the postage-paid envelope that comes with your ballot.
Early Voting
Early voting runs from Aug. 22 through Aug. 28. All early-voting is done at Higgins Middle School, 85 Perkins Street. Earl-voting hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on every day of the early-voting period.
