Where To Vote Early In Marlborough Starting This Week

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Although you can vote by mail right now and for the remainder of the year, early in-person voting for the September primary will get underway across Massachusetts on Saturday.

All early in-person voting will happen at the Marlborough Senior Center, 40 New St., during these hours through Aug. 28:

• Aug. 22, 23 — 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Aug. 24 to 28 — 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The main event in the Sept. 1 Democratic primary is the Senate race between incumbent U.S. Sen. Ed Markey and U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III. Incumbent state Rep. Danielle Gregoire is also facing a primary challenge from Northborough resident Jeanne Cahill.

Marlborough Democrats will also vote for candidates running for U.S. House, Governor's Council, and the state Senate — but those candidates are running unopposed.

Republicans also have a U.S. Senate primary race. Shiva Ayyadurai and Kevin O'Connor are running against each other for the chance to face off against either Markey or Kennedy in the November general election.

Neither the Green Rainbow nor the Libertarian parties are running candidates in this primary.

The deadline to register to vote in the September primary is Aug. 22, and the deadline to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot is Aug. 26.
