If you want to get a mail-in ballot for the State Primary, you must apply to do so by 5 pm on August 29. You now have the option to apply for a mail-in ballot online here (most MA residents qualify). If you need an accessible ballot, check appropriate boxes to request accommodations: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/MailInRequestWeb/MailInBallot.aspx
Information on accessible voting by mail was just recently added to the Secretary of State’s website, for voters who are unable to mark a paper ballot because of a disability. Accessible voting by mail allows you to receive, complete, and return your ballot electronically. For more information on accessible mail-in voting visit this link: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleev/early-voting-by-mail-accessible.htm
You should apply for an absentee ballot (rather than mail-in ballot) if you are residing overseas, on active military duty, currently incarcerated for a reason other than felony conviction, or if you need to request an emergency absentee ballot due to hospitalization. Otherwise, you can qualify to vote by mail.
