Mashpee Voter Participation

For Mashpee’s 2021 town-level elections, total eligible voters by precinct numbered 12,072—with only 1,709 community members showing up to the polls, about 14%.

The May 2021 annual Town Meeting, said Town Clerk Deborah (Dami) Kaye, “was even more dismal” with about 464 people present to approve a $62 million budget.
