Plympton registrars approve Deborah Sampson Meeting Room as early voting site
Summary
The Plympton Board of Registrars voted unanimously July 23 to hold early voting for the Sept. 1, 2026 primary and Nov. 3, 2026 state election at the Deborah Sampson Meeting Room at 5 Palmer Road.
The Plympton Board of Registrars voted unanimously on July 23 to designate the Deborah Sampson Meeting Room in the Plympton Town House at 5 Palmer Road as the town’s early voting location for the Sept. 1, 2026 primary and the Nov. 3, 2026 state election.
“Motion made by Tara Shaw, seconded by Nancy Butler, to vote on the proposed location of the Deborah Sampson Meeting Room in the Plympton Town House at 5 Palmer Road, Plympton for Early Voting for the September 1, 2026 Primary Election and the November 3, 2026 State Elections.” The motion carried by a unanimous vote of the three members present. The minutes record Tara J. Shaw as Town Clerk and a member of the Board of Registrars.
The change shifts the default early voting site from the Town Clerk’s Office to the Deborah Sampson Meeting Room, as noted in the meeting record. The board’s approval satisfies the local action required by the Massachusetts Elections Division timetable, which requires the schedule and location to be established in advance of the statutory early-voting window. The minutes also note that any change to reduce in-person early voting hours by 25% would require a separate vote by the Board of Selectmen.
The Board did not record public comment or objections in the minutes. The designation was entered into the official minutes and signed by Town Clerk Tara J. Shaw.
