WHAT IS EARLY VOTING?

Early voting is a way for you to vote before Election Day, at your own convenience. You can vote early in-person or by mail.

NORTHAMPTON EARLY VOTING

  • Unlike traditional polling, you don’t vote at your assigned polling location. The early voting location for 2024 is to be determined.
  • You can’t vote in person if your mail-in ballot has already been accepted by your local election office. 
  • You can’t take your ballot back or vote again.
  • If you miss the early voting period, you can still vote on election day at your regular polling location.
