Mansfield Town Election Postponed Until June 30

MANSFIELD, MA — The Mansfield Select Board is urging town residents to vote by absentee ballot for the June 30 town election. The Select Board voted to postpone the annual election due to the coronavirus health emergency.

Ballots can be requested here. Ballots will then be mailed to residents, who are asked to mail them back to the town clerk. The ballot will be sealed in a vault until election day when it is escorted by police to a polling place and opened by the tabulator.

The application must be signed, and sufficient time for postal delivery should be allowed. Absentee ballot applications can be placed in the drop off box outside of town hall and marked attention of the Town Clerk, or emailed to mstaples@mansfieldma.com.

Applications can be made for an immediate family member living in the same household. Deadline to vote by absentee ballot is June 29.

In-person voting will be available, but hours will be modified. Traffic flow will be restricted and altered into a one-way pattern. Voters will be asked to bring their own pen and wear a face mask.
