I tried to make a poll the other day and couldn't. I couldn't find a tutorial on how either.
^ What he said. I was surprised in the recent Senate primary, the dems forms were red and repubs blue, lol.
Yes - Almost every election - whichever candidate is less of a threat to my liberty, both economically and socially.
Unless your old town keeps on top of things you'll be registered in two places. During the brown special election, the clerk checking names said my whole family except my sister had been in. I told her my sister had moved to Boston 3 years ago and has since registered there and she said "Wow, does she know she's still on the list and can vote here?" By no means am I suggesting voter fraud, on the contrary, you may want to tell the old town to remove you so no one votes under your name.

People in my town complain that us oldsters show up and vote all the time. It seems that a lot of the younger folks are to busy or whatever. So, the oldsters end up running the town. Yup, that's the way it is.
I've only missed one election (a local one) due to a sudden business trip to upstate NY (and you had to file for absentee ballots a few weeks in advance back then) ever since I was old enough to vote.
Live in a town with an Open Town Meeting and have attended all but a handful of evenings in >30 years. I usually speak up at these meetings and make my thoughts known. In fact I met with the Town Manager and Director of Finance a couple of days ago and need to meet with the Police Chief between now and Monday over one of the articles. I'm a back room kind of guy, preferring to get my info informally and only speak out publicly when I feel it is needed to intentionally sway a vote. Asking questions to get info on the floor of Town Meeting instills FUD and can adversely affect the vote on an article when you don't want it to.

I *SHOULD* be allowed to vote in MA. I pay the same income tax to the state as a resident. I guess we weren't really all that serious about that "no taxation without representation" bit.

Welcome to the club!! Nobody to call if you run into problems with MA state agencies, like the DOR. No state rep or state senator feels obligated to help you.
So am I that,s why there are no buttons. I thought I clicked the poll box. Sorry
