Tuesday’s primary election: How and where to vote

Tuesday, March 5, is primary election day in Marblehead and across the state.

Voters must cast ballots at their designated polling precinct. Voters can find their precinct via the Massachusetts Election Division’s website: bit.ly/49qoGcA.

Polls will open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. at three locations around town:

— Precinct 1: Old Town House, One Market Square
— Precincts 2 & 3: Abbot Hall Auditorium, 188 Washington St.
— Precincts 4, 5 & 6: Judy & Gene Jacobi Community Center, 10 Humphrey St.

Voters will have one of three party ballots: Democratic, Republican or Libertarian. You’ll get the ballot for the party in which you’re registered. If you are unaffiliated, you can choose at your polling place or choose in your vote-by-mail application.

Town Clerk Robin Michaud said her office had sent 2,700 early voting ballots out, but she didn’t have a total count on those returned as of Feb. 23.

Candidates on the ballot

The Democratic ballot includes President Joe Biden, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson, who recently unsuspended her campaign.

The Republican ballot features a competitive field with former President Donald Trump, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (who dropped out), Nikki Haley and others.

Libertarian voters will choose from candidates including Jacob George Hornberger and Chase Russell Oliver.

Additionally, voters will decide on state party positions.
