Tuesday's Election Information

Take a look at tomorrow's ballot as well as polling location.

 

Tuesday, Nov. 2 is Election Day. Be sure you know where to vote and who's on the ballot.

Besides the major election for the Governor's seat between Deval Patrick and Charlie Baker, there are plenty of other elections that impact Winchester. Attorney General Martha Coakley (D-Medford) will face-off against challenger James McKenna (R-Millbury).

Secretary of State incumbent William Galvin of Breston will be facing two challengers – Republican William Campbell (Woburn) and James Henderson from Stow. U.S. Representative incumbent Edward Markey (D-Malden) has a challenger in Gerry Dembrowski (R-Woburn) in order to retain his seat.

Locally there will be plenty of activity.

Current State Senator Pat Jehlen (D-Somerville) will face competition from Dave Carnevale (R-Medford). The State Representative position is currently held by Jason Lewis (D-Winchester). He will have to hold onto to his seat by defeating George Georgountzos (R-Stoneham) and Michael Rotondi (I-Stoneham).

Andrew Mostone of Winchester will be challenging incumbent Paul Caruccio (R-Winthrop) for the councilor position in the sixth district. Terrence Kennedy (D-Lynnfield) and Scott Crabtree (I-Saugus) will also be running for the position.

James DiPaola (D-Malden) will be trying to hold on to his Sheriff's position against local challenger Michael Tranchita (U-Winchester).

Where to vote?

Today is Election Day, and the polls will be up long enough for you to cast your vote – from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. And if you are looking to vote in Tuesday's elections, but aren't sure where to go, here's a quick guide that should help you out:

If you live in the little trio of streets that forms a triangle around Muraco School – Cross, Main and Washington Street, then you are either in Precinct 1 or 2 and will be voting at the Muraco School.

Precincts 3 and 4 will be heading over to McCall Middle School to cast their vote. That's the area around the Town Center. If you live around Church Street, but north of Dix Street and around the Parish of the Epiphany then you are in Precinct 3. If you live near Main Street and the Aberjona River, then that's Precinct 3 and you'll be heading over to the middle school as well.

Precincts 5 and 6 will get to swing by Vinson-Owen for their voting. That polling place is easy enough to figure out, as it's the area that consists of Johnson Road, Ridge Street and all those roads right near the school at the edge of town.

The last two Precincts – 7 and 8 – will call the gymnasium at the Lynch School their polling place. Precinct 7 is also along Church Street, but south of the Epiphany, heading towards Main Street. If you continue along Main Street towards the Town Pantry, then that's Precinct 8. Both precincts will head to Lynch.
