Norton Voters Head to Polls Today

Election day is finally here.

Norton voters will be heading to the polls today to cast their ballot in two elections: local elections and the state-wide primaries for the special senate election.

Both elections will be held at Norton High School between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

There will be a new entrance for this year's election.

According to the Town of Norton website:

The old entrance will NOT be available for this election.  The new entrance is to the left of the old entrance.  Additional walking will not be required as voters will be entering the gymnasium from the back and the check-in tables will be closest to the new entrance.

Residents are also reminded that two elections will mean two processes. According to the Town Website:

Please note that Norton will be holding two elections on April 30th; the Annual Town Election AND the Special State Primary. Voters will have the  option of voting in one or both elections. Voters will NOT have to go through  the check-in or check-out line twice, but will be required to state their address & name twice (with different election officials) when voting in both elections.

Locally, Norton residents will vote in two contested races. Four residents (Andrew Mackie, Valerie Desmond, Mark Powers and Daniel Sheedy) are running for two spots on the Norton School Committee. Additionally, incumbent Robert Kimball Jr., incumbent Robert Salvo Sr. and George Gillis are vying for one two spots on the Board of Selectmen.
