To register to vote online, go to https://www.sec.state.ma.us/OVR/ or stop by the Town Clerk’s office during regular business hours to register in person.
To request a Vote by Mail ballot, go to
https://www.sec.state.ma.us/divisions/elections/elections-and-voting.htm.
While the application deadline is Monday, Aug. 26, the Town Clerk’s office recommends submitting earlier “to provide enough time for ballots to be mailed out and received back by Tuesday, September 3,” Town Clerk Carol Falvey advises. “Be sure to sign and choose a party ballot if unenrolled, or we cannot fulfill the request.”
Active military/United States citizens living abroad are encouraged to contact the Town Clerk’s office at townclerk@hingham-ma.gov to request information about absentee voting.
