Caucus Results

Thanks to all who joined us on February 28 to elect a full slate of 6 Rockport delegates and one alternate (plus our Chair) to the Massachusetts Democratic Convention May 29-30. We had about 60 people at the caucus including representatives for state and federal office.

The state party strives to ensure delegate representation that reflects the whole community, and has a number of add-on delegate seats, chosen by the Democratic State Committee, in the following categories: Disabled, Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Groups, Veteran, Youth (16 to 35 years old), and LGBTQ+. The Democratic State Committee at their Spring 2026 DSC meeting in April added three Youth delegates from Rockport.

A VOTE BY MAIL PSA FROM LOCAL CITY/TOWN CLERKSTo the editor:This is a message to Cape Ann voters. Massachusetts law requires that the Secretary of the Commonwealth send Vote by Mail applications to every registered voter in Massachusetts for state elections. This means you’ll automatically be getting a postcard application.Before you return the postcard to your local clerk’s office, please consider a few things. First, decide if you want to vote by mail. You are not required to vote by mail, and receiving the application does not obligate you to return it. You will still have the option to vote early, or to vote on Election Day if you choose not to vote by mail.If you are choosing to vote by mail, review the application carefully. Select for which election you want to vote by mail, and what party’s ballot you would like to vote (if you are unenrolled). If you are enrolled in a party, that party’s ballot is the one that will be mailed to you. If you don’t know your party enrollment, you can check it here: www.sec.state.ma.us/VoterRegistrationSearch/MyVoterRegStatus.After you’ve checked the appropriate boxes, you must sign the application. The clerk’s office cannot process an application that has not been signed. If your address changes after you submit your application, please contact the clerk’s office.After the clerk’s office processes your application, you’ll be mailed a ballot. Once you receive your Vote by Mail ballot package, you will need to read the enclosed instructions carefully. It is very important that you understand the requirements to properly complete your Vote by Mail ballot. Before you return your ballot, please make sure that the affidavit envelope has been signed. Failure to sign the affidavit envelope will result in your ballot being rejected. To check the status of your Vote by Mail ballot, you can check it here: www.sec.state.ma.us/WhereDoIVoteMA/TrackMyBallotIf you have questions about voting by mail, please reach out to your local clerk’s office.Grace E.
