Last Chance: Voter Registration Deadline is Friday for Primary

The state primary on Thursday, Sept. 6, is creeping up, and those Weston residents who haven't registered to vote yet and wish to take part in the primary should register to vote this week.

The deadline to register to vote in advance of the state primary is Friday, Aug. 17, according to the town's website. The Weston Town Clerk's office will be open Friday, Aug. 17, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for those who need to register.

Mail-In Registration forms are also available at Town Hall, and must be postmarked by Aug. 17, at midnight.

Residents may also request an application for an absentee ballot if unable to vote on Election Day at the polls due to being out of town, or having physical disabilities or religious beliefs that prevent getting to the polls. Absentee votes must be received by Sept. 5 at noon, according to the town website.

Residents can also visit the Secretary of the Commonwealth, Elections Division, and download an Absentee Ballot Application.

Any questions on voter registration can be directed to the Weston Town Clerk’s office at 781-786-5010.
