Stoughton To Move All Voting To One Polling Location

Stoughton voters will cast their ballots at a single polling location beginning with the town's next election.

STOUGHTON, MA — Stoughton voters will cast their ballots at a single polling location beginning with the town’s next election.

Stoughton will consolidate voting at the Dr. Robert G. O’Donnell Middle School, 211 Cushing St., starting with the Sept. 1, 2026 election. The change follows a town-wide vote during the April 2024 local election, town officials announced on Thursday.

Stoughton officials said the single location will improve efficiency, reduce costs and streamline staffing while providing residents with a smooth voting experience.
