Letter: Help us pass same-day voter registration

Posted

The campaign to allow same-day voter registration needs your help! This initiative, supported by the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee, is in the second round of signature gathering to put the question of Election Day Registration (Petition YY) before the voters on the November 3, 2026 ballot. This task must be finished before June 17, and we need to gather and submit at least 12,429 certified signatures from registered Massachusetts voters who did not sign in the first round. Please visit our website for more information: https://electiondayvoterregistration.com.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
