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
Massachusetts. Those voters could have resolved what often boils down to clerical mistakes, and then cast a ballot that was counted.
