VOTING ON ELECTION DAY – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW / BRING:
Do NOT go to the POLLS if you are sick or have been exposed leading up to Election Day Call (on Election Day) 508-230-0530 or email [email protected] for voting options from home
Wear a Face Covering
Bring a Pen – Blue or Black ink – sharpie or Paper Mate Flair recommended (machines will not read red / highlighters; Pencil / crayons cause issues with tabulator breakdowns)
Bring a Clip Board or Book to mark your ballot on (if you don’t want to use a Voting Booth)
Bring an ID – in some cases voters will be required to show an ID. That ID can be anything
(license, a bill, email) but the voter name and address must match how you are registered.
Don’t touch your face while at the polling location
Maintain Social Distancing – keep 6’ away from anyone not from your household
Keep your ballot dry and free from hand sanitizers - Do not use hand sanitizer while handling
your ballot and be sure your voting booth is dry as it will cause issues tabulator breakdowns
SAVE TIME & AGGRAVATION - KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:
1. Am I a registered voter?
You are qualified to vote in this election if you register to vote online at: www.registertovotema.com
on or prior to the deadline of Wednesday, June 17th
2. Is my voter status "active"?
Per state law, voters must return their signed street list census forms annually to the Town Clerk’s office to
maintain an active voter status. Inactive voters are still eligible to vote but will be required to complete
additional forms and show an ID at the polls in order to vote. Voters who appear as inactive can change
their status to active by emailing a completed census form to [email protected] before
Monday, June 22nd to avoid the longer check in process at the polls. Check you voter status online at
www.sec.state.ma.us/VoterRegistrationSearch/MyVoterRegStatus.aspx.
3. What is my voting Precinct?
Voters are strongly encouraged to know what precinct they will be voting in before arriving at the polls. A
greeter who will be managing the lines and providing entrance authorization to maximize social distancing
within the polls will have the ability to look up your precinct – but this will likely slow down lines at the
polls. Check your precinct online at www.easton.ma.us/whatsmyprecinct.pdf
4. What will I be voting on?
Educated voters will reduce the amount of time necessary in the voting booths and reduce lines and
crowding while voting. View a sample ballot at www.easton.ma.us/june27sample.pdf
Our commitment to keep voters safe:
Voting Booths will be cleaned throughout the day
Unused / sanitized pens will be provided to those who need to borrow one
Hand sanitizer will be provided at the exit
