Dear Steve,

We do not have specimen ballot available for each voter as we did for
the 2006 November General Election. We have the samples so you may see
the layout, but for specific candidates we suggest that you contact your
local city or town hall. Contact information for all the city or town
halls can be found at the following link:

If you have any further questions please feel free to email or call us
at (617) 727-2828. Thanks!

I'm sure the first example I see of the primary ballot will be at the polling place tomorrow.

I See No Ballot Here

The Massachusetts Presidential Primary Election is Tuesday and there is still no copy of the ballot on the Massachusetts Elections Division website.

Revised Massachusetts Ballot

Thanks to Ron Newman for pointing me to the 2008 Presidential Preference Primary Ballot Order over on the Secretary of State's Web site.

I revised it to remove the candidates who have dropped out. Is Gravel in or out?

Who are you voting for?

Update: Gravel is in! Sorry I missed it...

Looking for the Massachusetts Primary Ballot Online

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?

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.

In the last election, an online ballot was never posted.
