Information about early voting and absentee ballots for Massachusetts’ November election:

Early Voting – Monday, October 22 through Friday, November 2
From October 22 through November 2, residents will be able to vote in the Richard Reed Meeting Room (formerly the Multipurpose Room) at Bedford Town Hall, 10 Mudge Way. Early voting will be available Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm, with extended hours until 7 pm on Tuesdays.

Absentee Ballots
If you will be traveling, or are a student, disabled or in the military, you may request an absentee ballot. The form to apply to vote absentee is available online at https://www.bedfordma.gov/town-clerk/pages/absentee-ballots.

On Monday, October 22, however, Town Clerk Doreen Tremblay noted that absentee ballots requested or mailed via the US Postal Service could be subject to unanticipated mail delays. The most certain option is to stop at Town Hall and cast your ballot before November 2 if possible.

Voting in Massachusetts State Election will take place at Bedford’s polling place, the John Glenn Middle School, 99 McMahon Road, Bedford, beginning at 7 am on Tuesday, November 6.
