How to Register to Vote in Bedford

If you haven’t yet registered to vote, get it off your to-do list now.

Today is National Voter Registration Day, and thousands of local, state and national organizations have mobilized to make sure millions of people don’t miss the chance to cast their vote in this year’s elections.

Six million people didn’t vote in the 2008 elections because they either did not know how to register or because they missed the voter registration deadline.

The voter registration deadline for Massachusetts is Oct. 17. 

Here’s information on how you can register in time for the Nov. 6 elections:

Typically the Bedford Town Clerk's Office on the first floor of Town Hall, 12 Mudge Way, Bedford, MA, 01730 is open from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. on the voter registration deadline day for in-person registrations.

The Town Clerk will also be located at the Bedford Police Department from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Oct. 17 for voter registration.

Residents can also download a mail-in voter registration form on the Secretary of the Commonwealth's website. Once that form is filled out and signed, it must be mailed to the Bedford Town Clerk's Office (address above) and postmarked by Wednesday, Oct. 17 for you to be eligible to vote.

Absentee ballot applications can be downloaded from the Secretary of the Commonwealth's website or picked up at the Bedford Town Clerk's office. The deadline to apply for absentee ballots is noon the day before the election, Monday, Nov. 5, although it is recommended to submit the application as soon as possible.
