The state primaries are today, meaning it's your last chance to cast your vote before November. Today is also the deadline for absentee ballots to be received.

Residents unsure of which district they are registered in can visit this site, input their addresses, and find out where to vote. They can also call the Town Clerk's office, at (508) 495-7350.

According to Massachusetts law, voters registered in political parties can only receive and cast primary ballots of that party. Independent or “un-enrolled” voters may request the ballot of either major party, or of any other parties participating in the primary.
