Falmouth 2022 Voting Guide: Candidates, Questions, How To Vote

FALMOUTH, MA — Election day is here, and it's arriving with big national storylines, but few items that will move the needle in Massachusetts politics.

The 2022 statewide elections in Massachusetts haven't been hotly contested, especially in the race to replace Gov. Charlie Baker. But that doesn't mean there aren't important local races on the ballot.

Before you head to the polls on Nov. 8 (or to a ballot drop box), here's a cheat sheet on all the local items you'll be voting on, plus tips on how to vote.

Where, When To Vote

Polls in Massachusetts will be open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Nov. 8. Find out where to vote here, and find out if you're registered to vote here.

If you're voting by mail, you can drop off your ballot at the clerk's office and in any ballot drop box — but not at polling locations. You can also mail your ballot on Election Day, but it won't be counted if it arrives after Nov. 11. Your best bet is the drop box or handing it off in-person.

Precinct locations are listed on the Town of Falmouth website here.
