Record Turnout for September Primary Races

The Legislature’s expansion of early voting and vote-by-mail options played a pivotal role in keeping our voters safe and increasing turnout to record levels in the recent state primary.  More than 800,000 Massachusetts residents cast their ballots before September 1.  Our clerks and their staff met the new challenges with the highest level of competence and professionalism, demonstrating that we can both increase access and keep our votes secure in the midst of a global pandemic. 

On a personal level, I was honored to be re-nominated for re-election and will be working to earn your votes in November’s election.  My colleagues and I will work closely with our clerks and the election office of Secretary Galvin to improve on the new processes, and I encourage you to share your thoughts on this issue with me by email at michael.day@mahouse.gov.
