Election Notes:

Town Elections run from Noon to 8PM while State Elections (and Primaries) run from 7 AM to 8 PM
Per MGL 51:26 and 28, the last day and hour to register to vote in an election or to change party enrollment (for a primary) is 8PM on the twentieth day prior to said election date. In accordance with the law, the Rowley Town Clerk’s office will be open to accommodate this deadline. Please note it is also possible to register to vote online at Mass.gov/elections but the 8PM deadline still holds.
Absentee Ballot applications are available at the Town Clerk’s Office or at mass.gov/elections.
Absentee Ballots are available until noon on the day prior to the election/primary.
I assume EARLY VOTING will be offered again for the State Election. Early Voting is NOT available for Town Elections at this time.
Specimen Ballots for State or Town Elections, Annual or Special Town Meetings will be posted as soon as available.
To avoid confusion at the polls –check your voting status at mass.gov/elections or at the Town Clerk’s Office.
