Deadline to Register for State Primary Election is Wednesday

From the City Clerk’s office:

City Clerk William Campbell reminds voters that the deadline to register to vote in the State Primary Election is Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 8 p.m. If you moved, changed your name, or your local census form was not received at city hall, you may encounter an issue at the polls. In some cases, you will have to sign an affidavit and show identification at the polls. In other cases, you may not be able to vote.

Voters can check their registration status by using the look-up tool now available on the city’s website. The tool tells the voter their voting status, party enrollment, whether an ID is required at the polls, voting location, current State and Federal election officials, and contact information to the city clerk’s office. The page will tell the voter when the information was last updated, which is usually sometime during the past night.

Voters may register in person at city hall during regular business hours or by mail. The voter registration cards have to be filed with the City Clerk by 8 p.m. on Aug. 20 or be postmarked by that date. In addition, the City Clerk’s office will be open on Wednesday, Aug. 20 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.for voter registration.

City Hall regular hours are Monday through Wednesday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Thursday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, call the City Clerk’s office at 781-897-5850 or visit www.cityofwoburn.com.
