SUDBURY, MA — Voters in Sudbury will head to the polls on Monday for the 2021 town election, which will feature three contested races for town-wide office. Due to the pandemic, Sudbury voters are allowed to cast absentee ballots to avoid going to the polls. But the town will also offer in-person voting at two locations during voting hours on Monday. You can check your voting status on the Secretary of State's website. Here's everything you need to know about who's running in 2021, and how to vote. In-person votingPolls will be open in Sudbury from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. The town will offer two polling places, depending on your precinct. Town Hall, 322 Concord Road: Precincts 3 and 4Fairbank Community Center, 40 Fairbank Road: Precincts 1, 1A, 2 and 5 Absentee votingThe deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot passed on March 23. If you received one already, you can mail it to the Town Clerk (make sure you use two stamps). It must be postmarked by March 29, or it won't count. The best option would be to drop your mail-in ballot outside the clerk's office at 322 Concord Road. The drop box will close at 8 p.m. on Election Day. Who's runningThere are 10 races on the 2021 ballot, but only three — School Committee, Select Board and Goodnow Library Trustees — are contested. Sudbury will also get a new Town Moderator this year.
