Absentee Ballot Application
Who Can Vote Absentee?
In Massachusetts, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, voters may vote by absentee ballot “if they will be absent from the town on election day, and/or have a physical disability which prevents them from voting at their polling location, and/or cannot vote at the polls due to religious beliefs”.
Anyone taking precautions due to COVID-19 can vote absentee by reason of physical disability • Voters instructed to self-quarantine within 7 days of election qualify for emergency ballot as if admitted to healthcare facility
