Order Of Ballots Set For Mass. Presidential Primaries
The order of the ballots (see them below) for the Massachusetts presidential primaries has been set. The primaries take place March 1.
Using a spinning gold barrel, Secretary of State William Galvin on Tuesday selected candidates' names randomly, as high school students looked on.
As WBUR detailed Monday, research has found that ballot order matters, and that there's an advantage to where a candidate's name appears.
The last day to register to vote in the primaries is Feb. 10.
