In Massachusetts, each voter is assigned a specific polling place based on their voting precinct. After registering to vote, a voter receives a notice in the mail that provides the address of their assigned polling place. On Election Day, voters must go to that assigned polling place to cast their vote. If unsure of the polling place, voters can find their polling location online by entering their residential address in the search tool provided by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth's office. Polls are generally open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., but local variations can exist. To find exactly where to vote in Massachusetts, one should look up their voting precinct or enter their full residential address on official state websites designed to provide this information. Voters are required to vote at their assigned location unless they vote absentee or early where allowed.
