Peabody Preliminary Election Voter Guide: Candidates, Where To Vote

PEABODY, MA — Three candidates are vying to be among the final two in the race to be the next mayor of Peabody, while Ward 6 residents will also have a vote for City Council, in Tuesday's preliminary election.

The preliminary election to narrow contests to two finalists on Nov. 7 includes only the mayoral race in Wards 1 through 5.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the following locations:

Ward 1: Precincts 1, 2 & 3 BROWN SCHOOL, 150 LYNN STREET
