Massachusetts House speaker Ron Mariano seeks to extend mail-in voting through June Updated Feb 24, 2021; Massachusetts House Speaker Ron Mariano plans to push for a three-month extension of the COVID-19 vote-by-mail law that contributed to a record-breaking turnout in the 2020 presidential election. Mariano, a Quincy Democrat, issued a statement Wednesday night confirming the House will seek to extend the mail-in voting law until June 30 so local elections can continue with a vote-by-mail option in the short term. The current mail-in voting law expires in March. “Since we first enacted vote by mail, it has proven to be secure and even increased voter turnout in many places,” Mariano said in a statement. “The House looks forward to making vote by mail a permanent way for residents to exercise their right to vote during and beyond the pandemic.”
