Election Rules

The Ayer Town Clerk would like to remind the public (especially those who campaign), of Ayer's policy regarding signage at the polls and the 150 foot rule. All candidates and supporters must abide by the sign policy adopted by the Board of Selectmen. There are no unattended signs allowed at the polling locations. Attended signs however, are allowed at the polling location outside the 150 foot radius. "Attended" constitutes a person is holding or standing immediately adjacent to a sign.

As an additional reminder, candidates and their workers must abide by MGL 54:65, more commonly known as the 150 foot rule. All candidates and campaign workers must remain outside the 150 foot mark if they are campaigning in any way. No stickers, signs, badges, or other campaign paraphernalia will be allowed beyond this point. There is no oral campaigning within this 150 foot area.

The polling location for Precincts 1 and 2 are located at Town Hall.

If you have any specific questions, please contact the Ayer Town Clerk’s office at 978-772-8220 ext. 153 or by email.
