Natick Consolidating Polling Places At High School

NATICK, MA — Some Natick voters may cast a ballot at a different polling place this fall. The Town Clerk has consolidated three precincts at one polling place, which is actually an effort to allow more social distancing.

Voters in precincts 1, 2 and 3 will now vote at Natick High School. Voters in those precincts previously used Cole Recreation Center and Brown Elementary. According to the clerk, the high school has enough space that voters will be able to cast ballots in person while keeping a safe distance from other people.

There are two elections coming up this fall. The primary election will be held on Sept. 1, and the general election — which will include the presidential election and a U.S. Senate seat — will be held on Nov. 3.

The Secretary of State is encouraging everyone in Massachusetts to vote by mail this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic. Voting by mail, which is essentially the same as casting an absentee ballot, is available to anyone in 2020 without an excuse. You can find instructions on how to vote by mail on the Secretary of State's website.
