MA Appropriations Bill Sets Up Early Voting in 2020 Presidential Primary


The Massachusetts House on Tuesday, October 15th, moved quickly on an Appropriations Bill (H 4127), that Funds and Establishes Early Voting in the Commonwealth's Presidential Primary next year.

2020 would be the First Time that Massachusetts Presidential Primary Voters would have access to Early Voting.

The Bill calls for a Five day period to be set aside for Early Voting during the Work week Prior to the Super Tuesday Presidential Primary in the Bay State.

It would run from Monday, February 24th through Friday, February 28th, the Day before the South Carolina Democratic Primary.

Sites have to be Set Up Two weeks in Advance of the Commencement of Early Voting and those Locations have to be made Public under the Provisions of the Bill at least Seven days in Advance of the Early Voting Window.

While this Adds to the Strategic Complexities of Super Tuesday and the Massachusetts Presidential Primary, the Early Voting Window stretches neither On, for as Long, or as Far, into February as is the case in other Super Tuesday Primary States.
