15 voters by 9 in ward 11 precinct 1

While a poll-worker played a gentle classical guitar a glacial drip-drip-drip of district seven voters moved through the ward 11 precinct 1 polling station at Roxbury Community College.  There were fifteen voters recorded on the counting machine by nine o'clock.

65 voters at 5 pm at Ward 11 Precinct 01

Today is the preliminary election for a replacement city councillor for district seven.

65 votes were registered on the counting machine at the Roxbury Community College voting location for ward 11 precinct 1. 

We saw signs for Jackson, Williams, Carithers, and Mills, but no campaign workers.  With six precinct workers, it seems an expensive way to run an election.

Today is the special preliminary municipal election; the polls close at 8 pm.  The general election ("special municipal election") is 15 March.

Here is the Boston Election Department website with information for the district seven special elections and for the municipal elections in the fall.
