Wednesday, Feb. 10 is the registration deadline to vote in the March 1 presidential primary

In order to vote in the March 1 Massachusetts presidential primary, you must be registered by Wednesday, February 10. Voters who are enrolled in a party can vote only on that party's ballot. Registered voters who are "unenrolled" can vote on any (one) party's ballot. Doing so will not change your "unenrolled" status.

Use this form to check your registration status.

Use this form to register, change your party enrollment, or change your registration address. If you have a Massachusetts driver's license or state-issued non-driver's ID, you can submit the form online. Otherwise, you will need to print it out, sign it, and mail it (or bring it to City Hall).

More information on registration is on this page.

Thanks for posting these links! I thought I was ok but I was listed as inactive. Pays to check!

Here's info on what it means to be an inactive voter. You may need to bring identification with you to the polling place, showing that you still live at this address. A utility bill will do.

Idiots. I did their stupid census and sent it out the next day so I would be able to vote. *sigh* Bureaucracy. Thanks!

In that case you'll probably be considered "active" by March 1, once they process the census form. Bring the ID just in case.

Same here. Every few months (it seems) they send out yet another one of those forms. I dutifully fill it in, mail it back, and still end up on the inactive list every time I go to vote.
