The governor just signed a bill that makes everyone eligible to vote by mail, and requires the state government to send out applications for mail-in ballots to all registered voters. The applications are supposed to be mailed by July 15, which suggests to me that if you're a Massachusetts voter and don't get one by the 22nd, you should check that you're still registered.

It's not clear from the article I read how long those applications apply: it might be necessary to send in the separate application for voting by mail in the general election in November. (The secretary of state is also required to send those applications to go to all Massachusetts voters.)

Added If you have already requested an absentee ballot for these elections, that's sufficient, and they won't be sending you another application.

Also, for now this only covers the 2020 primary and general elections.

I haven't read any articles, but if they're just sending out the normal absentee ballot application, there's a checkbox for "send me just for this election" vs "send me for all elections this year"
