Wayland Early Voting Starts Saturday: When To Cast A Ballot

WAYLAND, MA — If you would like to get this election over quickly, you're in luck. Early voting in Wayland begins Saturday ahead of the regular Nov. 3 Election Day.

In 2020, voters will of course be choosing a president, but also a U.S. Senator, state-level offices and deciding several statewide ballot questions.

If you voted in the September primary, you probably got a good idea of what the general election will look like. Voters concerned about coronavirus will be allowed to apply for absentee ballots to avoid in-person voting. Wayland has already begun mailing those absentee ballots to voters.

Wayland has set up to secure drop boxes for ballots at the public safety building, 38 Cochituate Road, and in the Town Hall vestibule.

Early voting will take place this year in the gym at Wayland Town Hall, 41 Cochituate Road, during these hours:

• Oct. 17 and 18 — 8 a.m. to noon
• Mondays — 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays — 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Oct. 24 (Saturday) — 2 to 6 p.m.
• Oct. 25 (Sunday) — 8 a.m. to noon
