Polls are Open Across the State for the Massachusetts Primary Election

Polls across the Commonwealth opened at 7 this morning, and will be open until 8 Tuesday night for the State Primary Election.

The Primary is a partisan election; therefore all voters registered in the Democratic and Republican parties are eligible to vote. Voters registered as un-enrolled (commonly referred to as ‘independent’) must choose a party, and will automatically return to un-enrolled status following the election.

The polling place for all eight precincts in Danvers is at the Vye Gym, Danvers High School, 60 Cabot Road.

Voters may check their voter status and polling location by visiting the Secretary of State’s office online or by calling the Town Clerk’s office. Voters can also view the Republican and Democratic ballots.

Campaign Signs at Polling Locations

Candidates and supporters are reminded that according to MGL Ch. 54 §65 signs are allowed at the polling place as long as they are outside the 150-foot radius around the entrance of the polling place. In addition, signs must not obstruct vehicle or pedestrian traffic. Posters, cards, handbills, placards, pictures or circulars intended to influence the action of the voter are also not permitted within the 150-foot radius.
