There are six candidates running in two party primaries for this special election. Those candidates are Democrats Stephen Lynch, Edward Markey and Brett Rhyne and Republicans Gabriel Gomez, Michael Sullivan and Daniel Winslow.

The four polling sites are located at town schools and the senior center as follows:

  • Precincts 1 and 2, Holten-Richmond Middle School
  • Precincts 3 and 5, Thorpe Elementary School
  • Precincts 4 and 6, Smith Elementary School
  • Precincts 7 and 8, Danvers Senior Center

Each location is handicapped accessible. One thing to note, however, is that the main entrances to the Thorpe and Smith schools are in the rear of the buildings. Handicapped voters should park in back of the schools instead of out of front.

If you don't know or are unsure which precinct you live in, call the clerk's office at 978-777-0001 ext. 3046. You can also find more election information from the Secretary of State's office here, including which polling site you should vote at in your town.
