As of today, the City of Somerville Election Department has begun mailing Vote-by-Mail ballots to voters for the September 1 State Primary Election.

Ballots will continue to be mailed regularly as applications are received and processed. Voters are encouraged to return their completed ballots as soon as possible. Returning your ballot early allows the Election Department time to review the ballot envelope for completeness and contact you, if necessary, should any issue arise that could affect whether your ballot is eligible to be counted.

For added convenience, the City has 10 Official Election Drop Boxes located throughout Somerville. Voters are encouraged to use these secure drop boxes to return their signed and sealed Vote-by-Mail ballots, helping to ensure timely delivery while reducing demands on the postal system. The drop boxes may also be used for all Election Department correspondence.

Remember before returning your ballot:

• Complete your ballot.
• Place it in the ballot envelope.
• Sign the voter’s affidavit on the orange ballot envelope
• Return it as early as possible using an Official Election Drop Box or by mail.

The Somerville Election Department appreciates your participation in the democratic process and encourages all eligible voters to make a plan to vote in the September 1 State Primary by voting early by mail, early in person at City Hall or in person at your polling location on Election Day.
