Early voting ends today, Friday, October 30th. Find your municipalities early voting locations and hours. If you are voting by mail, get your ballot in soon, preferably at a drop box in your city or town or your city election department or town clerk.

On November 3rd, voters in Massachusetts will choose whether two ballot initiatives pass. We support both initiatives and urge you to support them as well. In particular, please urge your friends and family to vote for Question 2, Ranked Choice Voting. It is winning in the latest poll, but there are a high percentage of undecided voters and neither yes nor no has a majority.

Election night, the United States Pirate Party will have a live stream starting at 8pm Eastern. You can catch it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woXE4Q943aM.
