Election Day: Where to Vote in Berkshire County
After what feels like an eternity, Election Day is finally here. Make sure you go out and cast your vote. Polling stations are open in Massachusetts from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Massachusetts is expected to break the record for voter turnout during today's elections, according to Secretary of State William Galvin. He said in a press conference the state expects more than 3.6 million votes to be cast, through early voting, mail-in ballots, and in-person voting. This would exceed the record set in the 2016 general election by some 300,000 votes.
In addition to casting votes for President and other elected officials, Massachusetts will vote on two Ballot Questions:
Question 1
The first ballot question seeks to expand the state's 2013 "Right-to-Repair" law, which allows independent mechanics to access data from a car's computer system so they can find and fix problems. Read more here.
Question 2
With Question 2, voters have the option of establishing a “ranked-choice” system, which involves ranking candidates on the ballot in order of their preference. Read more here.
Mail-In Ballots
If you still have a mail-in ballot, turn your ballot in at a dropbox location in your city or town, often located at City Hall. If you're not sure where a secure ballot box is located, call your local voter registrars office.
Polling stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
