          Town Clerk, Carol A. Harris reminds Templeton residents that Wednesday, February 10th is the deadline to register to vote if they want to participate in the Massachusetts Presidential Primary on March 1st.

Not sure if you are registered to vote? Use this link to check your registration status: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/VoterRegistrationSearch/MyVoterRegStatus.aspx or call the Town Clerk’s office @ 978-894-2758.

          February 10th is also the deadline for registered voters who wish to change their party enrollment either to another party or to “unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as “independent.”  This should not be confused with the United Independent Party (UIP); a party that will have ballots available but with no candidates printed on them.  Voters registered in UIP will NOT be eligible to take a Democratic, Republican, or Green-Rainbow ballot.

With spirited contests in both parties, pervasive advertising and intense coverage in early primary states, some voters may want to vote for a candidate in a different party from the one they are registered in now.

          To do that, however, the voter must switch to the other party or to “unenrolled” status by 8 p.m. on February 10th.
          Unenrolled voters or voters enrolled in political designations can ask for any party ballot on Primary Day, but someone registered in a party can only vote on that party’s ballot. A Democrat cannot take a Republican ballot, and a Republican cannot take a Democratic one.

          The Town Clerk’s office will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on February 10th for voters who wish to change their party registration status or for persons wishing to register.
