Voter Registration Options

You can register to vote online, by US Mail, or in person at Revere City Hall. Call or email the office. 

To register to vote you must be a United States citizen, a resident of Massachusetts and 18 years old on or before Election Day. If you turn 18 after the deadline but before Election Day, you are still eligible to register. However, you must register by the deadline. Additionally, any Massachusetts citizen sixteen (16) years of age can preregister.

If you are unsure of your current registration status, the state provides an easy way to check on that.

Check Voter Registration Status

There are a number of reasons why a voter registration may be considered inactive. According to the State's Election Day Legal Summary page:

The check in process for inactive voters involves a number of steps. The pertinent regulation states in part:

If the name, address or party enrollment of a person claiming the right to vote appear on the voting list as an inactive voter, the presiding officer shall allow such inactive voter to vote upon written affirmation by the inactive voter of his current and continuous residence in the municipality, signed under the penalty of perjury. 950 C.M.R. § 54.04(6)(a).

An inactive voter must therefore be provided with the form known as an Affirmation of Current and Continuous Residence, in order to provide the voter with the opportunity to affirm in writing, signed under the penalty of perjury, that they do currently live, and have continuously lived within the municipality. Id. If the voter’s name is on the inactive voters list, the poll worker must also request identification containing the voter’s name and current address. 950 C.M.R. § 54.04(6)(b). If the voter has moved within the municipality, the voter should vote where he is listed on the voter list. Id. Should an inactive voter fail to show identification with his current address, the election official must challenge the voter’s ballot in accordance with the procedures set forth in the “Challenge” section.

Printable Census Form Available Here

Any voter who does not respond to the annual street listing by the first Monday in June is made inactive and must be sent a confirmation card as required by the National Voter Registration Act.  The voters response to the confirmation card allows the Election Department to update their census information and to process any changes specified on the card.  Voters that do not return the confirmation card before August 1 are required to complete an Affirmation of Current and Continuous Residence and provide identification on Election Day.
