Milford Has Been 'Very Busy With Early Voting'

MILFORD, MA—For the first time ever in Massachusetts, voters have a chance to vote early for the presidential and state election, and for some towns and cities, its residents have jumped at the opportunity.

Milford Town Clerk Amy Hennessy Neves says that her office has been "very busy with early voting." Milford has been averaging about 300 per day since voting opened on Oct. 24. On Monday, 343 voted, Tuesday 284, and Wednesday 340.

"It’s been a steady stream of people and the wait has not been but a few minutes if they even needed to wait at all," said Neves. "Anyone coming in to vote early has been very excited about the process."

The Town Hall will be open the rest of this week for early voting from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and this Saturday only from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Next week, the Town Hall will also be open from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Early Voting ends Nov. 4.

"We are letting anyone who calls know to bring a photo ID with them to vote," added Neves, "just in case they need to complete any additional paperwork for being 'inactive,' which requires an ID."
