Holliston Coronavirus: Town Election Postponed To June

HOLLISTON, MA — Holliston officials postponed the annual town election to June due to the new coronavirus crisis. The Select Board voted to change the Annual Town Election from May 19 to June 23.

In order to keep voters and election officials safe, the town is encouraging voters to take advantage of the early voting by mail option that was created by the emergency law. The law establishes a new voter registration deadline on the 10th day before the rescheduled election. The new voter registration deadline is June 12.

The deadline to apply to receive an absentee or early voting ballot must be received by noon on June 22. In an effort to ensure voter’s ballots will be counted at the polls, the Town Clerks office is encouraging voters to apply for their ballot to be mailed to them two weeks prior to the deadline date to allow enough time to get the ballots and have them returned.

In order to be counted, completed absentee and early voted ballots must be received at the Town Clerks Office via mail or outside drop box at 703 Washington Street before the polls close on election day. They cannot be accepted at the polls on Election Day.
