Greetings!

Spring is in full swing, and so is the League!

If you haven't heard, the LWV of Massachusetts led a coalition of voting rights organizations in filing a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts challenging President Trump’s March 31 executive order concerning mail-in voting. You can read all about the action and partner organizations here.

Here in Franklin County, we'll be organizing candidate forums for the First Franklin State Rep seat vacated by Natalie Blais. To date four candidates have filed, but the filing deadline isn't until the end of May. Watch this space for more on that.

Important election dates:


Voter Registration Deadline: August 22

Vote by Mail Application Deadline: 5 pm, August 25

Early Voting Period: August 22–28

Election Day Polling Hours: 7 am – 8 pm

State Primary Election: September 1

In the meantime, we'll have our annual Civics Trivia Night, Franklin County Pride, and our annual meeting to look forward to. But first...
