Voting

[ckd]

hr_macgirl and I voted in the Massachusetts primary at just before 1800, and were ballots #612 and #613 at our polling location, which was busy but not packed; there were empty booths, of about a dozen total (I think; I didn't count). For the uncontested special election [ETA: last May] to fill our vacant state Senate seat, we were #22 and #23...and voted sometime around 1830-1900.

As unenrolled voters, we got to choose which party ballot to take, and both of us took D ballots. As we were walking to the booths, we heard the staff say "we need more Democratic ballots".

Was polling for the special election in a different place, or just using different ballots?

Same place, different time (last May) and different ballots.

However, most of Arlington had a special primary today to fill a State Representative seat. Same ballot as the presidential primary,
