Marlborough Democrats Hosting Voter Registration Drive

MARLBOROUGH, MA — The Marlborough Democratic City Committee will host a nonpartisan voter registration drive this weekend. The event is aimed at boosting turnout ahead of Super Tuesday and the November election.

Feb. 12 is the last day to vote before the Massachusetts presidential primary on March 3. Voters registered with the Democratic, Republican, Green-Rainbow, and Libertarian parties will get to vote on March 3, and early voting will be held Feb. 24 to Feb. 28.

The main contest is the Democratic primary. Fifteen candidates will be on the ballot, including former governor Deval Patrick. You can see a selection of sample ballots on the Secretary of State's website. Massachusetts will award 114 Democratic delegates, who will go to a national convention this summer to nominate a Democrat to run for president.

Republicans will have four choices on Super Tuesday. Former governor William Weld, former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh, and businessman Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente are all on the ballot facing off against President Donald Trump.

"We all know how important it is to get every voter out for these two watershed elections," acting Committee Co-Chair Dan Caruso said in a press release. "We will be holding more sessions as we approach the election at times and places to be announced."

The 2020 presidential election will be held on Nov. 3, and the last day to register to vote in Massachusetts is Oct. 14. There are no Marlborough city elections in 2020.

The Marlborough voter registration drive begins at 12:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 in the Bigelow Room at the Marlborough Public Library, 35 West Main St.
