Election 2016: Presidential Primary Voting
06:45PM / Thursday, February 04, 2016
Print | Email  


Wednesday, Feb. 10, is the last day to register or to change party status to vote in the Tuesday, March 1, presidential primary. Those unenrolled can chose a party to vote in for the primary.

There are four political parties in Massachusetts: Democratic (D), Republican (R), Green-Rainbow (J) and United Independent (CC). If you are enrolled in one of these parties, the corresponding initials will be next your name. If you are unenrolled, there will be a U in the party column.

You may change your party enrollment by completing a new voter registration form in person at your town or city clerk's office, by mail, or at www.RegisterToVoteMA.com.

You do not have to be enrolled in any party to vote in its primary; however, you may only vote in one primary.

Polling places on primary election day will be open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m., though towns are allowed to open as early as 5:45 a.m.

Absentee ballots are available in town and city clerks' offices until noon the day before the election. You may also have a ballot mailed to you, but it must be returned by close of polls on March 1.

List of polling stations

Voters will chose one candidate as their chosen party's presidential nominee. Voters will also chose one committeeman and one committeewoman in the party primary in each state senatorial district, when applicable. Those elected will serve a four-year term on the state party committee.
