Polling Location
On Election Day, everyone votes at the Lynnfield High School, 275 Essex St, in the gymnasium. Polling hours are 7 am - 8 pm.
Please contact the Town Clerk's Office ahead of time if you have questions about accommodations and accessibility. Several handicap accessible parking spots will be available at the high school. The accessible voting machine, the AutoMARK is available for use by any registered voter. This machine can read the ballot to you through headphones, magnify the ballot text, and mark the ballot for you. Election workers are limited in the assistance they are able to provide voters using this machine, however, voters may bring and assign someone to assist them. Handheld magnifiers and lights can be requested at the check in tables. Please do not hesitate to ask an election worker if you need any assistance.
Interested in Becoming a Poll Worker?
The Board of Registrars are always accepting Poll Worker applications. If you are interested in helping the Town continue to conduct fair and transparent elections, please return the form to the Town Clerk's Office. All Poll Workers are considered seasonal/part-time employees of the Town and must fill out the appropriate paperwork.
Nomination Papers
Information on nomination papers will be posted for upcoming elections when the information is available.
What Does "U" or "Unenrolled" Mean?
When registering to vote, you have the option of choosing "unenrolled" under party enrollment or designation. This is commonly referred to as "independent" and means you are not enrolled in a party but are a registered voter. You will still be allowed to vote in a party primary if you are listed as unenrolled and will just have to notify the poll worker of which party's ballot you would like to use. You will not need to change back to "unenrolled" after choosing a party ballot at a primary. Unenrolled does not mean that you are not registered to vote.
Have You Moved?
You must update your voter registration every time you move, even within the same town. If you have moved, you can update your registration by filling out a new voter registration form in the Town Clerk's Office or by making the change online.
