The City of Malden has scheduled a Preliminary Election next week on Tuesday, September 16. Due to the number of candidates for School Committee in Ward 4 and City Council in Ward 6, the Malden City Clerk’s Office has officially scheduled a Preliminary Election to narrow the field of candidates for two contested municipal races. Voters in Ward 4 and Ward 6 will select from the following candidates vying for a place on the November ballot:

School Committee — Ward 4

  Dawn Macklin (incumbent)

Abeer A. Annab

Jeffrey Allen Donahue

City Councillor — Ward 6

Stephen Patrick Winslow (incumbent)

William E. Muise

Copies of the official ballots are shown as part of this report. On September 16, polling stations will be open in Wards 4 and 6 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Preliminary Election day. This preliminary round will determine which candidates will move forward to the General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

The last day for early voting for the Preliminary Election was yesterday, so any voting for this election moving forward will have to be in person at the polling place in either Ward 4 or Ward 6.
