Massachusetts will hold its state primary election on Sep. 1st. Due to a recent change in state law, all registered voters are eligible to vote by mail. Voters will recieve an absentee ballot request in the mail. If you would prefer to vote by mail, you must submit by Aug. 31st. We reccomend applying as soon as possible if you are applying by mail.
