Dorchester and Mattapan voters must travel to City Hall for final early voting days

Boston residents in Dorchester and Mattapan must travel outside their neighborhoods to cast early ballots this week. The city’s schedule lists no voting sites in those districts for the remaining days of early voting, which run through Friday, Oct. 30.

The final sessions in the neighborhoods concluded over the weekend. Voters used the BCYF Perkins Community Center on Talbot Avenue in Dorchester, the BCYF Mildred Avenue Community Center in Mattapan, and the Salvation Army Kroc Center on Dudley Street. Those options are now closed.

City Hall at the Haymarket Room serves as the primary location for the rest of the period. It is open Monday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The building extends its hours on Tuesday, Oct. 27, and Thursday, Oct. 29, staying open until 8 p.m. Wednesday and Friday see standard hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Three other locations remain open on specific evenings. Tuesday features voting at Saint Nectarios Greek Orthodox Church in Roslindale and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Seaport, both from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday adds Saint George Orthodox Church in West Roxbury and the BCYF Hyde Park Community Center, both open from noon to 8 p.m.

Any registered Boston voter may cast a ballot at these sites, regardless of their assigned precinct. The city recommends using the north entrance on Congress Street, across from the Haymarket MBTA station. No appointment or special reason is needed to vote early.

The election on Nov. 3 will decide races for governor, U.S. Senate, Congress, and state Legislature, along with nine ballot questions. The deadline to register to vote passed on Saturday, Oct. 24. Mail-in ballot applications are due by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

Voters can return mail-in ballots to city drop boxes or early voting locations during operating hours. If residents miss the early period, they can vote on Election Day, Nov. 3, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at their assigned precinct polling places.
