On Monday, Boston election officials launched this year’s “Vote Early Boston” website, a resource that the city has offered its residents in years past to provide important information about Boston’s early voting initiative. During the early voting period, which begins Monday, October 22 and runs through Friday, November 2, registered Boston voters can cast their ballots for the November 6 election either by mail or in person at any early voting location.

"Ensuring all Boston voters are able to vote conveniently, and on their own schedule, is paramount to ensuring voter turnout," said Mayor Martin J. Walsh. "We have seen in past years the success of early voting, and I am proud that we'll be able to offer this resource again to our residents, in addition to all the other resources the City provides during election season."

Early voting locations will include the main polling center at City Hall, which will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as at neighborhood “pop-up” locations available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

During “Early Voting Weekend,” which will take place on Saturday, October 27 and Sunday, October 28, nine locations around the city will be open for early voting from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Organizations are encouraged to contact the Boston Election Department if they would like to host non partisan events or activities to promote early voting locations. Interested groups should contact the city at election@boston.gov or 617-635-3833.
