Posted on: March 3, 2020 - 8:45am
Presidential Primary

The Presidential Primary will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 with the polls scheduled to be opened from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. – All Three Precincts Will Be Open. Precinct I - the Town Office Building at 148 Peck Street, Precinct II - the Gladys L. Hurrell Senior Center at 55 Bay State Road, and Precinct III - the South Fire Station at 102 Pleasant Street.

Your enrollment as a voter will affect the party ballot in which you can vote at the Presidential Primary.  There are four political parties in Massachusetts. If you are enrolled in one of these political parties (see chart below:  D; R; GR [previously J] or L), you will need to only vote your party ballot.  You may have noted the “Party” letter codes on the 2020 Census forms - next to your name, in the last column on the right, marked “PARTY”.  If you are unsure, you may also check your registration online @

D - Democratic Party 

R - Republican Party

GR - Green-Rainbow

L - Libertarian

When voting on March 3, 2020, voters who are enrolled in one of the above parties can only vote on the ballot for that party.  Voters who are unenrolled in a party (commonly known as “Independent”) will be listed with the party code “U” in the “PARTY” column of your census form. Unenrolled voters and voters who are members of other Political Designations (indicated by one of 24 other letter codes) will have a choice of which party’s ballot they would like to receive, Democratic, Republican, Green-Rainbow or Libertarian.  Once you choose a party ballot, you cannot, by Massachusetts General Law change the party ballot you vote.  As a result, please examine the four sample ballots displayed as you enter the Polling Place, prior to requesting your Presidential Primary Ballot.  Thank you.
