MATTAPOISETT — The Special Town Election is scheduled for July 27 at Old Hammondtown School. 

The election will have one race on the ballot to fill the late John DeCosta’s Select Board position. The election is contested between former Select Board member Tyler McAllister and newcomer Kenneth Wilbur, both of whom are confirmed to be on the ballot.

The polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Those wishing to obtain an absentee ballot may do so by submitting a request in writing to the Town Clerk, Catherine Heuberger, PO Box 89, Mattapoisett. The request must contain a signature, your legal voting residence, the address to which you would like the ballot mailed and the date of the election.

Official applications are available on the Town website under the Town Clerk’s page. They are also available at Town Hall during regular business hours. Call the Town Clerk’s Office to have a ballot application mailed to you. 

Applications may be returned via email, regular mail, fax, or they may be placed in the blue election mailbox on the front lawn of Town Hall. Ballots will be mailed as soon as they are available to those who have requested them.

The town encourages residents to submit application early, as the voted ballot must be received by the time polls close.
