To vote, residents must register with the town online or by mail before Saturday, April 26. Here are the different ways to vote:
In-person early voting
Registered voters can cast their ballots early from Saturday, April 26 through Friday, May 2. Visit the town’s website to view the locations and schedule for early voting.
Mail-in voting
All registered voters are eligible to vote by mail. To do so, voters must submit a vote-by-mail application to the town clerk’s office by Tuesday, April 29 at 5 p.m. Applications can be submitted by mail, in person at the clerk’s office at Town Hall, in a ballot drop box at three locations across town, or by emailing the signed application to townclerk@brooklinema.gov.
If the application is submitted by mail, it must arrive at the town clerk’s office by 5 p.m. on April 29 — a postmark is not sufficient.
The town’s website has more information about mail-in voting.
