CALL THE LEAGUE AT (339) 223-0832. EARLY VOTING HOURS CAN BE FOUND HERE.
Lexington, Mass. — The League of Women Voters of Lexington (MA) is expanding its Rides to the Polls program to provide rides to voters not only on Election Day, November 3, but also during the early voting period, October 17 to October 30.
The new ride dates are intended to accommodate voters who wish to vote early or who want to deliver their mail-in ballots in person, but need transportation to do so. Rides can be arranged by calling the League at (339) 223-0832. Contact information will also be available from the Town Clerk’s office.
“We want the convenience of early voting available to everyone,” said Margaret Coppe, convenor of the League’s Lexington chapter. In a lawsuit filed by the League of Women Voters, the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, and other civic groups, the Supreme Court recently blocked new U.S. Postal Service rules that would have stopped the delivery of certain mail-in ballots. Nevertheless, Coppe said, “Many voters remain concerned. Our expanded rides program will help everyone to return their mail-in ballots in person if they prefer.”
The League of Women Voters of Lexington (MA) is a non-partisan organization dedicated to the principles of self government established in the Constitution of the United States. The League works to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government.
