“Support for Mail-in Voting
Dear Legislators:
I urge you to support S.2654/HD.5026, An Act Establishing Vote by Mail, and the proposed legislation to mail absentee ballot applications to registered voters.
The unprecedented COVID-19 crisis threatens our public health and those who participate in our democratic process, so it’s important that our State Legislature act quickly to enable mail-in voting and to provide poll workers personal protective equipment (PPE) for in-person voting on Election Day. Recognizing this, the Massachusetts Democratic Party has endorsed S.2654 and related legislation enabling mail-in voting in the House.
Thank you for your attention to this critical piece of legislation. I look forward to your feedback.
Sincerely, your constituent,
<Your Name>
<Mailing Address>”
