NEWBURYPORT Localcity and town clerkswill soon send out mail-in ballots for the Nov. 3 election, but Greater Newburyport residents will also be able to head to the polls in less than two weeks.
Voterscan cast ballots by mail and will have the option to do so in person during a 14-day early voting period or on Election Day.
Earlyin-person voting in Massachusetts runs from Oct. 17to Oct. 30.
Newburyport City Clerk Richard Jones said his office will send mail-in ballots to voters by midmonth, about a week after they are received by the city. He added that his office will have "close to 7,000 (ballots) to collate, package, label, seal and send."
Jones urged residents to "please be patient" as the city mails out the ballots, noting the time it may take for all of them to be prepared.
Jones said he expects the election to have a similar turnoutas the September primary, which saw an unexpectedly highnumber of voters at the polls following a slow early voting period.
In September,3,125 city residents voted early by mail, while only 451 people voted early in person. On primary day, 3,196 city voters went to their polling places. Overall, the primary drew 44% of the citys roughly 15,000 registered voters to the polls.
"We thought that a lot of people had already voted by mail or early in person, but then all of a sudden, a lot of people showed up on Election Day ... I expect it to be the same (in November)," Jones said. "There are a lot of people concerned about early voting and mail-in voting, so they're going to go the tried-and-true route."
Amesbury City Clerk Amanda Haggstrom said the city saw a large turnout inSeptember compared to past primaries because of the mail-in ballot option.Haggstromsaid she isn't quite sure how Amesbury residents will prefer to vote in November.
"I'm expecting a high turnout for this election, but I can't guarantee if it will be more mail-ins or in-person," Haggstrom said, adding that she has beenreceiving lots of questions from residents about the city's voting options.
