How To Cast Your Vote Early In Boston
If you live in Massachusetts, you don't have to wait until March 3 to vote in the presidential primaries. Early voting is available this week to all registered voters throughout the state.
Boston Elections Commissioner Eneida Tavares says early voting means people don't have to stand in long lines on Election Day.
"You don't have to go to your specific precinct as you would on Election Day," she says. "You can go to any early voting site that is convenient for you at a time that's convenient for you." Your polling location in your town or city may not be the one it is on Election Day, so check in with your election officials to make sure you know where to go.
