Voter registration deadline for state primary is this Friday
If you are not already a registered voter, the deadline for participation in the September 8 state primary is 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 19. You may register in person at the Town Clerk’s Office, or register using this Secretary of State website to register or check your registration status. Incumbents U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark, state Sen. Michael Barrett and state Rep. Thomas Stanley are running unopposed in the Democratic primary, and none of those offices has a challenger on the Republican ballot. However, Lincoln resident Peter Georgiou and Newton resident William Humphrey are running in the Democratic primary against incumbent Governor’s Council member Marilyn Devaney of Newton.
