Voting in the Primary: The Primary is September 3, 2024. Members of political parties (Republican, Democratic, Libertarian) may vote only in their own party’s primary. Unenrolled voters (often referred to as “independents”) and members of political designations or minor parties may vote in the party primary of their choice. You may change your party enrollment prior to the voter registration deadline (Aug 24). Mail-in and early voting in person will be available.

Note: One of the candidates participating in our forum, Bhuren Patel, is a write-in candidate in the Democratic Primary for State Representative, meaning his name will not appear and must be written in on the ballot. The League of Women Voters of Needham does not have a policy on including write-in candidates in our forums. Rather, we take each occurrence case-by-case and decide based on the circumstances. In this case, Mr. Patel announced his candidacy at the same time as the other candidates. He has registered with the MA Office of Campaign and Political Finance and is actively campaigning. As a service to voters, LWVN has decided to include him in our forum.
