Online Voter Registration Now Available

By Liz Taurasi

Online voter registration is available in the Commonwealth through the portal launched by the Secretary of State’s Office, Secretary of the Commonwealth William Francis Galvin announced Wednesday.

This important advancement will make registration easier and more convenient as well as cut costs relating to the printing of voter registration forms.

Massachusetts citizens can apply online by visiting Secretary Galvin’s website at www.sec.state.ma.us and clicking the “Massachusetts Register to Vote Online” button to access the online application system.

Any Massachusetts citizen who has a valid identification card issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles will be able to use the online system to apply to register to vote, update their address or change their party enrollment.

Massachusetts citizens who do not have identification issued by the Registry of Motor Vehicles can still complete an application online which they can print, sign and mail or hand-deliver to their local election official.

With the Presidential Primary only eight months away on March 1, 2016, now is the time to visit Secretary Galvin’s website to check your voter registration status and make any updates as necessary.
