Early Voting Cost Certification for September 2024 State Primary and November 2024 General Election

Welcome to the Early Voting Cost Certification Survey. The Massachusetts Office of the State Auditor (OSA) manages a certification process for municipalities’ early voting costs, first introduced in 2016 as part of the Commonwealth’s support for broader voter participation. Under the fiscal year 2025 state budget, the OSA’s Division of Local Mandates (DLM) will certify expenses related to vote-by-mail and in person early voting for the September 3, 2024, state primary and November 5, 2024, general election. Promptly providing the early voting expense information requested in this survey will ensure your municipality's costs are considered for certification.
