Early voting in Mass? How about nationwide?

By 2 Comments

When can we get early voting here in Massachusetts? How far away, realistically, is our state from adopting something so pragmatic and sensible?

Also, do you think early voting will ever be available in every state?

  1. I *think* (and please correct me if I am wrong) that allowing early voting would require a change in the state constitution, and that’s a lengthy process. (Which I think is a good thing, because it prevents knee-jerk reactions being put in our constitution, unlike other states).

    I’m not saying we shouldn’t have early voting, but it will probably take votes in two consecutive constitutional conventions, then a statewide vote.

    I apologize if I’m not remembering my facts correctly about this being a state constitution thing.

      Correct.

      I agree.
