How can I register to vote?

What must I do if I’ve changed my address since I registered?

• If you have moved within Montague, notify the Town Clerk’s Office of your new address in writing,
• If you have moved out of town, you must register again in your new location.
• Your voter registration does not follow you – you must keep your local Town or City Clerk informed of your new information.
