Boston's Preliminary Municipal Elections Set for Sept. 8

Boston’s preliminary municipal election in City Council Districts 4 and 7 will take place on Tuesday, September 8. The polls will open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 8:00 p.m.

These two Council Districts include more than 78,000 registered voters eligible to participate in this election. There will be approximately 405 election officers assigned to 59 voting precincts in Boston, which are housed at 40 locations.

Boston’s ballots are printed in English/Spanish across the City, and in English/Chinese and English/Vietnamese ballots where there is a need. Nearly 95 election officers speak one or more languages in addition to English, including Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese dialects), Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Cape Verdean Creole and Russian.

Each precinct will also be provided with an automark machine which increases accessibility to residents with sensory and physical limitations, as well as linguistic limitations.
