800 Early Voters In Foxborough Last Week: Higher Turnout Expected

FOXBOROUGH, MA — With 800 votes last week and voter turnout on pace for 150 votes Monday, Foxborough voter turnout is less than Town Clerk Robert Cutler expected. Cutler however does expect voter turnout to improve for the rest of the early voting period.

Despite early vote totals being lower than last time, conversation surrounding this particular election has garnered a lot of local interest, according to Cutler.

“I expect this week to be busier, especially with the interest in some of the ballot questions," Cutler told Patch.

Saturday was the day the town expected large voter turnout, but Cutler believes the nor'easter kept people from getting to the polls. Cutler also suggested some people might just want to wait until actual election day to vote.

The rest of the early voting schedule can be found below:

Monday, Oct. 29: 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Tuesday, Oct. 30: 8:30 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 31: 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 1: 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Friday, Nov. 2: 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

All early voting takes places at the Foxborough Town hall, located at 40 South Street. Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 6.
