Reminder: The Massachusetts state primary is tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 3. Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm.
If you have a mail-in ballot, it’s too late to return it by postal mail. However, you have until 8 pm tomorrow, Sept. 3 to return it to the ballot dropbox in front of McAuliffe Library on Water Street in Nobscot or the ballot dropbox behind the Memorial Building (City Hall) downtown.
You can also vote in person even if you requested a mail-in ballot, as long as you haven’t returned the mail-in ballot. What you can’t do is return a mail-in ballot at an Election Day polling location.
If you are a registered Democrat – or not enrolled in a political party (i.e. “independent” or “unenrolled”) and choose a Democratic ballot – there is a contested primary for state representative in the 7th Middlesex District. All of Framingham is also part of the district that has a contested primary for Governor’s Council.
