Where To Vote Early In Natick Starting This Week

NATICK, 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.

Early in-person voting will happen at two locations in Natick this year through Aug. 28:

• Aug. 22, 23 at Natick Town Hall, 13 East Central St. — 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Aug. 24 to 28 at the Morse Institute Library, 14 East Central St. — 8:30 a.m. to 4 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. Natick Democrats will also decide between incumbent state Rep. David Linsky and challenger Jaymin Patel.

U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark and state Sen. Karen Spilka will also be on the primary ballot, but they are running unopposed. Natick Democrats will also vote for candidates running for Governor's Council and Register of Probate, who are also 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. Caroline Colarusso is running unopposed for the chance to challenge Clark in the general election.

Neither the Green Rainbow nor the Libertarian parties are fielding 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.
