Here’s how to get an absentee ballot for Grafton’s May 17 election

Absentee Ballots are now available for the May 17 Town Election.

State law allows registered voters to vote by absentee ballot if they are absent from town during normal polling hours, physically disabled preventing the voter from going to the polling place, or unable to come to the polls due to a religious belief. 

Because the state legislature did not pass an extension to the temporary state laws that allowed no-excuse voting by mail in 2020 and 2021, absentee ballots are currently the only option to vote by mail. Voters must request their ballot in person no later than noon on Monday, May 16. 

If applying by mail, the deadline is Wednesday, May 11 at 5 p.m. Applications are available through the Town Clerk’s Office, Town of Grafton website at https://www.graftonma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif4461/f/pages/english-absentee-ballot-application.pdf, or can be downloaded from the State’s website at https://www.sec.state.ma.us/. 

Contact the Town Clerk’s Office with any questions at 508-839-5335 ext. 1195 or clerks@grafton-ma.gov.
