Note: New precinct boundaries need to be updated in the state database, so residents can't check now and know what precinct they will be in, which is especially important for people considering running for Town Meeting. The town clerk plans a mailing in February to all registered voters confirming precinct and polling location (in case any of them are changed by the Select Board following reprecincting). The census mailing will be delayed until the clerk's office has the new precinct numbers so the census will indicate the correct precincts. For a detailed explanation of the registration process, see the state website >> You can register online through the secretary of state website if you have a Mass. drivers license. You can also print the voter-registration form and submit it by mail, Town Hall drop box or by emailing a scan or photo of the signed form. This email address is being protected from spambots.
