Specimen Ballot with Ballot Questions Available

A specimen ballot for the Nov. 5 election, which includes the five ballot questions, is now posted on the Town Clerk’s website.

The ballot includes the newly-contested race for Sudbury’s State Representative between incumbent Carmine Gentile and Virginia Gardner, who waged a successful primary election write-in campaign for the Republican nomination.

The Sudbury League of Women Voters will record a candidates’ forum for that race in early October.  District residents are urged to submit questions for that forum to sudburycandidatesnight@gmail.com or LWV Sudbury, P. O. Box 338, Sudbury, MA 01776.  The deadline for questions is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2. 

Voter information on the five ballot questions is in the “red book,” the Massachusetts Information for Voters booklet recently sent to every household.  That information is also available on the Secretary of State’s website. 

Vote by mail ballot applications have also just been sent to voters by the Secretary of State.  If you have already requested a mail ballot for all elections, you do not need to return that application.  Otherwise, if you wish to vote by mail in the Nov. 5 election, return the card as soon as possible, but no later than Oct. 29, to the Sudbury Town Clerk.  Mail ballots will be sent to voters requesting them three weeks before the election.

The deadline to register to vote in the Nov. 5 Presidential election is Saturday, Oct. 26.  Check your registration status or register online at www.voteinMA.com.
