This Monday, March 30, is Election Day in Sudbury for the Annual Town Election. Return your mail ballot to the drop box behind Town Hall or vote in person by 8 p.m. Monday.
In-person voting for all six Sudbury precincts is in the gym at Fairbank Community Center, 40 Fairbank Rd. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Voters who have not yet returned a mail ballot should deposit their ballot in the secure ballot drop box at the rear of Town Hall, 322 Concord Rd. The drop box is available 24 hours, seven days a week. It is too late to send your mail ballot by U.S. Postal Service to be sure it will be received by the town clerk’s office by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Ballots received after 8 p.m. on Monday, March 30, will not be counted. Postmarks do not count. Mail ballots cannot be returned to the polls at Fairbank Community Center.
According to the Town Clerk, as of Friday morning, 838 mail ballots had been received in the town clerk’s office; 2,767 mail ballots were sent to voters requesting them.
The Town Clerk said that, as of Friday morning, no additional voters beyond the first seven had contacted the office to report receiving a Lexington mail ballot instead of a Sudbury mail ballot. The ballot printer sent an unknown number of Lexington ballots mixed in with Sudbury ones. The clerk’s office sent the correct ballots to voters who contacted the office. If a voter checks their mail ballot this weekend or Monday and finds a Lexington ballot, they should vote in person at the polls on Monday. It will be too late to get a new ballot from the clerk’s office.
Voters using a mail ballot must sign the yellow envelope after inserting their ballot or the ballot will not be counted. The signed yellow envelope is then put in the white return envelope.
Voters should check the Secretary of State’s online ballot tracker to be sure that their mail ballot has been received and accepted for counting and then re-check on Election Day to ensure that it was not rejected during the counting process. If your mail ballot is not received or is rejected for any reason, you may still vote in person before the polls close. Track the status of a mail ballot here.
If you requested a mail ballot but did not receive it, or if you have not yet returned your mail ballot, you may choose to vote in person on Election Day instead of voting by mail.
