I called the office of William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to see where a copy of Tuesday's Massachusetts Primary Ballot is online so I can take a look at it prior to voting.
This is the phone call I just had with Secretary Galvin's office :
Me: Where can I see a copy of the ballot online?In the last election, an online ballot was never posted.
Them: Which ballot?
Me: Tuesday's Primary
Them: I don't know if that's online yet. Can you hold?
Me: Sure
Time passes.
Them: Can you check back on Friday? It should be up then.
Me: OK. Thanks. Bye.
It's not quite the same thing as a sample ballot, but Secretary Galvin's office does have online a list of candidates for each party, in the order they will appear on the ballot.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have a different system. In Chicago I was able to get a sample ballot in short order. You guys need to stay on those people.
