NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The deadline to register to vote in the Tuesday, Nov. 4, state election is Wednesday Oct. 15, for all municipalities in the state.
City and town clerks' offices will be open until 8 p.m. on that day; smaller towns, such as Clarksburg, will have registration from 2 to 4 and 7 to 8. Voters can check their voter registration status on the secretary of commonwealth's website or contact their town or city clerk.
Absentee ballots also available in your local town clerks' offices, on the secretary of the commonwealth's website or here as downloadable pdf.
Residents may vote absentee if they will be absent from town on Election Day, have a physical disability that prevents them from voting at the polling place, or cannot vote at the polls because of religious beliefs.

Family members of a person qualified to vote by absentee may request an absentee ballot on their behalf. If requesting a ballot by mail or phone, do so as soon as possible as the clerk must mail the ballot to the voter.
