Mass. State Primary Election set for Tuesday, Sept. 6

Early voting in Malden begins on Aug. 27; first Malden Election Day with new Voting Map, featuring 27 voting precincts, most in city history

  The State Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, September 6 in the city of Malden and statewide. Voters will select a new Governor, Lieutenant Governor and several other statewide posts, while also voting for representatives in the Mass. House as well as Mass. Senate. This election will be historic in that it will feature the most polling places in Malden city history: 27, representing 27 precincts within the eight city voting Wards.

  Early voting begins in Malden on Saturday, August 27 for the upcoming state primary election.

  Polls will be open on primary election day, Sept. 6, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The State Election is then set for Nov. 8 with a voter registration deadline of Oct. 29.

  The Malden City Council on last Tuesday night at a special meeting unanimously voted to approve the early voting schedule. Earlier this year the City Council approved the list of Malden polling places. The newly drawn Malden Voting Map (a copy of which appears with this story) produced the need for the creation of the new precincts. For many decades, Malden voters have voted in two precincts per eight city Wards.
