Voter Registration Information

Register to Vote

You may register to vote in Massachusetts if you meet the following requirements:

  • You are a citizen of the United States.
  • You will be at least 18 years of age on or before the next election.
  • You are a resident of Massachusetts.
  • You are not currently incarcerated by reason of a felony conviction.

If you meet the above requirements, you may register to vote online, by mail, or in-person.

Register Online

If you currently have a Massachusetts driver’s license or state ID card, you may use the online voter registration application to register, update your address, or change your party affiliation. Voter registration forms submitted online must be submitted by midnight on the date of the voter registration deadline. *Voter registration deadline for the May 16, 2023 Town Election is Friday, May 5th. Last day to register to vote at Annual Town Meeting is Friday, April 28th.

Register by Mail

If you do not qualify to register to vote online, or if you would prefer to register by mail, you may download the Voter Registration Form (PDF). The form must be completed, signed, and sent to:
Boxborough Town Clerk
29 Middle Road
Boxborough, MA, 01719

Voter registration forms submitted by mail must be postmarked no later than the voter registration deadline.

Register in Person

If you would like to register in person, you may do so at the Town Clerk’s Office, 29 Middle Rd. 

Voter registration is also available as an option as part of every transaction at the Registry of Motor Vehicles and at certain public assistance agencies. Voter registration forms completed in person are valid as of the day that they are signed.

Changing Your Address

You must update your voter registration every time you move. If you have moved, you may update your registration by filling out a new voter registration form. If you move after the deadline to register to vote in a state election or primary, you should wait to update your registration until after the date of the election or primary, and return to vote at your previous polling place in Massachusetts. State law allows you to vote from a previous address in a state election for up to six month after you have moved, as long as you have not registered elsewhere.

Political Parties

If you wish to change your party enrollment, you may do so by filling out a new voter registration form. Members of political parties may vote only in their own party’s primary elections. Unenrolled voters (commonly referred to as "independents") and members of political designations or minor parties may vote in the party primary of their choice. Choosing to vote in a particular party’s primary does not enroll you as a member of that party.

Identification Requirements

Certain voters must submit a copy of their identification with their voter registration or present it at their polling place on Election Day. For more information on identification requirements, please refer to the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Identification Requirements page.
