Wellesley Residents Can Pick Up Absentee Ballots

New location for Precinct H polling announced as well.

 

The time for voting absentee in the upcoming Special Election is, well, any time until before the election. The time to pick up your ballots is now! 

The Town Clerk's office sent a note on Friday reminding residents to fill out and submit their absentee ballot applications. The deadline is noon on June 24, which is the day before the election.

The application may be filed by mail or by e-mail, and must include the voter's name and an address where the ballot can be sent. There is an application form available on the Secretary of the Commonwealth's website. For more information, see the Town Clerk's FAQ on the upcoming primary.

The primary race came down to Democrat Ed Markey and Republican Gabriel Gomez, and Twelve Visions party Richard Heos. Although he did not win the primary, it is possible to write-in a vote for Needham journalist Brett Rhyne.
