As the final hours of early in-person voting tick away across Massachusetts, residents are making one last push to cast their ballots ahead of Tuesday’s high-stakes showdown.
Fall River Early Voting Details
For voters in Fall River, early in-person voting runs through today, October 30, at the Atrium at One Government Center (with parking spaces reserved for early voters outside the Sullivan Drive entrance). Today’s hours run until 4:00 p.m.
New Bedford Early Voting Details
For voters in New Bedford, the final day of early in-person voting also runs until 4:00 p.m. today at the Main Public Library (613 Pleasant St., 3rd Floor).
Statewide Turnout & Mail-In Ballot Reminders
According to officials, turnout has remained steady throughout the week, with more than 286,000 voters already participating in early in-person voting across the state. Meanwhile, mail-in voting has seen widespread participation, though roughly a third of the over one million distributed mail-in ballots have yet to be returned.
With the state’s recommended mailing window having passed earlier in the week, election officials strongly advise anyone still holding a mail-in ballot to hand-deliver it directly to an authorized drop box by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day to avoid any delivery delays. Ballots already in transit must arrive by November 6, provided they carry a valid postmark from Election Day, November 3.
For voters who have not yet cast a ballot or missed the early window, traditional in-person voting will take place at local polling places on Tuesday, November 3. Residents can verify their designated polling location, ward, and precinct by entering their residential address on the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ website
