Andover Election 2020: How To Request A Mail-In Ballot

BURLINGTON, MA —With municipal elections across Massachusetts already delayed to help slow the spread of the new coronavirus, the state has allowed voters to vote absentee if they're concerned about exposure to the new coronavirus.

In March, the Andover Select Board voted to postpone the annual election scheduled for March 24 under authority granted by the state in an effort to slow the spread of the new coronavirus.

The Board has yet to set a new date, but Town Manager Andrew Flanagan recommended Tuesday that they pick June 9.

If you'd like to vote absentee, fill out the absentee ballot application available on the Secretary of State's website and send the completed form to the town clerk's office at townclerk@andoverma.gov. You can also get an application at the town offices, 36 Bartlet Street, and drop them in a secure box located next to the applications. You can also send a hand-written request if you don't have a printer available.

More information is available from the town clerk's office.
