Registered Voters, and What 1,030 Ballots Decided

Massachusetts publishes voter-registration counts by town through the Secretary of the Commonwealth; the counts below are the state’s enrollment snapshot from August 22, 2026. As in most of the state, Rehoboth’s largest bloc by far is voters who choose no party at all.

• Total registered: 11,317
• Unenrolled (no party): 8,238 (72.79%)
• Democrats: 1,338 (11.82%)
• Republicans: 1,609 (14.22%)
• Political designations: 132 (1.17%)

Here is what those registrations turn into. At the Annual Town Election on April 7, 2026 the Town Clerk certified 1,030 ballots cast out of 11,203 eligible voters, and the town printed the turnout as 9.19 percent. Those 1,030 ballots chose the Moderator who runs Town Meeting, two of the five Selectmen, an Assessor, two of Rehoboth’s five seats on the regional School Committee, a Housing Authority commissioner, a Park Commissioner, a Planning Board member, a Constable and two Water Commissioners. One ballot in a Rehoboth town election reaches ten offices at once, which tells you exactly what a single vote is worth here.
