Two weeks out: make your voting plan

Published On: August 13, 2026

Brothers and Sisters,

The Massachusetts State Primary is Tuesday, September 1. These are the races that decide prevailing wage, project labor agreements, and our industry standards.

Get ahead of the deadlines:

  • Register to vote by Saturday, August 22
  • Request a mail ballot by Tuesday, August 25. Ballots are already being mailed. If yours has arrived, you can fill it out and return it now.
  • Early voting runs August 22 through August 28

Register, check your status, or request a ballot at mass.gov/vote or vote.org.

Find out which candidates Local 17 is endorsing.

Make a plan. Bring a Brother or Sister with you.

In Solidarity,
Russell Bartash
President
Northeast Regional Council of SMART
