Your voice matters. The Community Health Equity Survey helps ensure that communities like ours are represented when decisions are made about health, funding, and local priorities. Share your experience and help shape future programs: https://www.mass.gov/community-health-equity-survey

This survey uplifts groups that have often been overlooked in statewide data and helps identify where inequities exist — especially important now, as many communities face new challenges to health and safety.

Participation is voluntary and anonymous, and you can skip any question. A heads‑up that some questions cover sensitive topics, so please take care as you move through it.

Hello everyone

If you have not mailed your Vote By Mail ballot back the Secretary of State is advising you to hand deliver your ballot back to the Town Clerk’s office as they need to be received by 8pm Tuesday which is only 3 mail days.

Here in Whately you can bring it to the Town Clerk’s office Monday 8am-6pm, or drop it into one of our two after hours secure drop boxes-1 at our Town Offices, 4 Sandy Lane, and 1 at our Town Hall, 194 Chestnut Plain Road. If you cannot do that you always have the option to vote in person on Tuesday- I cannot accept vote by mail ballots at the polls but both boxes will be checked at the close of the polls at 8pm.

All requested ballots for Tuesday’s State Primary have been mailed out.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to the Town Clerk.

Thank you!!!
