The Election Protection Behind Bars Coalition commended Secretary of the Commonwealth Bill Galvin today for issuing guidance to elections officials on ballot access for incarcerated voters.

For the first time in Massachusetts history, registered voters can apply for a mail ballot online through the Secretary of Commonwealth’s website.  

The nonpartisan good government watchdog Common Cause is promoting long-time Common Cause Massachusetts Executive Director Pam Wilmot to be Vice President of State Operations.

The Election Modernization Coalition urges officials in Massachusetts to act quickly to adopt reforms that will protect the right to vote in the midst of a crisis of indeterminate duration where public health officials recommend that people remain in their homes as much as possible, practice social distancing, and limit gatherings to less than 10 people.
