Massachusetts governor signs bill giving all residents vote-by-mail option

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) signed a bill Monday that allows all residents to have a vote-by-mail option for the 2020 primary and general elections.

"A bill has just been signed into law that will allow all Mass. voters to vote by mail without an excuse in any 2020 election," the elections division of the Massachusetts secretary of state's office tweeted.

Registered voters who wish to vote by mail will receive an application they should sign and send back to receive a ballot. Voters registered by July 1 will receive the application, which is pre-addressed and doesn't need postage, for the primary.

A second mailing of applications will take place in September for voters who have not applied to vote by mail in the general election.

This was for a town election a few weeks ago. I had the option to ask for all ballots in 2020 to be sent to me.

I am glad Baker extended that to all residents in MA.

Once again I will in fact give Charlie Baker credit when it is due.
