PLAN YOUR VOTE 

In Preparation for the November 5, 2024 Federal/State Election

* The early voting schedule for your community will be set by your local election official. Check the website for your City or Town Clerk to find that schedule.  It will also be listed on the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s website https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ by October 11.

1. Check your registration status. Are you registered?  Have you moved since you first registered?  If so, you must register in the town of your new address before October 26. Do this at the Town Clerk’s Office at Town Hall or online at: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/OVR/Pages/CheckEligibility.aspx?&Action=UpdateAddress
2. Decide when and where you will vote: (By mail, early voting, or on November 5?)
3. Learn about the candidates and the ballot issues.
   • Prior to the election, Town and City Clerk websites will post a sample ballot for your area.
   • The Secretary of the Commonwealth mails a red booklet titled, Information for Voters that describes the offices that are up for election and also explains the ballot questions with pro and con statements.  It is also on line at: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/research-and-statistics/info-for-voters-2024.htm
4. Read and view trusted news sources that are governed by standards for professional journalism:
