Data from the November 2024 statewide election released to the Massachusetts Election Modernization Coalition by the Secretary of the Commonwealth* reveals that two-thirds of provisional ballots cast on 11\/5\/2024 were rejected and not counted. Analysis reveals that the overwhelming majority of these votes could likely have been counted if same-day voter registration was an option in\r\nMassachusetts. Those voters could have resolved what often boils down to clerical mistakes, and then cast a ballot that was counted.<\/p>\r\n[pdf-embedder url=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/massachusetts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Provisional-Ballots-Cast-in-2024-General-Election-1.pdf\" title=\"Provisional Ballots Cast in 2024 General Election (1)\"]"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_resources","_acfe_flexible_toggle":"","component_resources":{"heading":"Related Resources","button_text":"See all Related Resources","manually_curate":false,"resource":null}}]},"yoast_head":"\nAnalysis: Provisional Ballots Cast in November 2024 Election -
