Election Day November 6 be prepared

The following is a  message from Town Clerk Carla Vitale about the election scheduled for November 6.

Please remember to prepare for the Presidential Election to be held on November 6th! The polls will open at 7am and remain open until 8pm. To prepare, read the Red Book that was mailed by the Commonwealth to households in late September or visit http://www.sec.state.ma.us/ele/eleidx.htm for more information. Unfortunately at this time, additional copies of the Red Book have still not been mailed from the State to the Town Clerk’s Office or the Library so online may be the only way to get this information.

Specimen Ballots will be posted next week at 18 locations in Town and also have been posted at Town Hall, please call the Town Clerk’s Office for exact locations. The voting locations are as follows:

Precincts 1, 2 & 5 will vote at the Middle School Gym

Precincts 3 & 6 at the Senior Center on Harvard Street

Precinct 4 at O’Connell Hall on Golden Drive

Please be sure when you arrive at the polling location you get in the correct line for your precinct. Students from Winthrop High School will be at each location to guide and assist the voters. Please remember to bring identification that shows you live at your voting address.
