Republicans worked over-time this year attempting to surpress the vote.
Don't let their misinformation stop you!
MassVote provided the great informational guide below.
Don't allow anyone to deprive you of your right to VOTE!
This is it.
On Sunday, MassVOTE predicted all-time record turnout for Massachusetts -- 3.3 million voters. That would mean the most diverse electorate ever. The voters would truly look like Massachusetts.

MassVOTE’s Top 10 Tips for Voters
(easy print
version)
For many reasons, including a wave of new voter registrations and the hard-fought, close race between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, MassVOTE projects record-breaking voter participation in Massachusetts. Over 1,000,000 voters will be either first-time voters or a people who haven’t voted since 2008. Here's advice to make sure your vote counts. Please forward.
9. Vote early. If you can’t get to the polls because of illness, disability, or religious belief, or if you’ll be out of town on Election Day, vote absentee. You can vote absentee in person at your city or town hall until noon on Monday.
10. Know your choices. Your ballot will probably be double-sided and have multiple pages. You don’t have to vote in every race – but don’t accidentally miss voting for ballot questions or races that matter to you. You have the right to get up to two replacement ballots if you make a mistake. See your ballot at www.wheredoivotema.com. Learn about the major ballot questions at www.massvote.org/questions
Poll workers are there to help. There will be about half a million people voting for the first time. If you need help for any reason, you have the right to get help from the poll workers. If you have any problem voting, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE, the national nonpartisan Voter Assistance Hotline sponsored by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under Law.

1. Know where to go. You may be voting in a different place from
previous years. Go to wheredoivotema.com and enter the address where
you are registered or call 1-800-462-8683. Don’t vote in the wrong place –
your ballot will not be counted.
2. Know how you’ll get there. Will you walk? Take a bus? Drive?
Get directions now, not on Election Day.
3. Know who will be with you. All your neighbors are voting,
too. Expect a short wait, especially if you vote during morning or
evening rush hours. Polls are open from 7:00am to 8:00pm.
4. Know what to expect. When you walk in, you will be asked for
your name and address, and then you will be given your ballot. Take your time
to fill it out. When you finish, you will be asked for your name and address
again. Then you slide your ballot into the voting machine. That’s
it.
5. Don’t be late, be there by 8. If you are in
line at 8:00pm, you will be allowed to vote. After 8:00pm, you won’t be
able to vote. Don’t take the risk – arrive early.
6. Don’t get fooled by false myths. It doesn’t matter if you have
unpaid parking tickets or a criminal record, if you are on probation or on
parole, or if you are homeless. Every free, registered citizen has the right
to vote in Massachusetts.
7. Bring a friend or your child. No child care? No problem. You
can bring most anyone you choose with you into the polls. Bringing your child
is a great way to teach them to be responsible.
8. Bring ID. Most people don’t need it, but bring it just in case.
Your ID does not need to have a photo, but it does need to show the address
where you are registered. A MA license will work, but so will a paycheck, a
recent utility bill or a bank statement. Know that if you don’t bring ID,
you still have the right to vote.
9. Vote early. If you can’t get to the polls because of illness, disability, or religious belief, or if you’ll be out of town on Election Day, vote absentee. You can vote absentee in person at your city or town hall until noon on Monday.
