Contested Races
The Democrats will select the candidate for District 3 Governor’s Councilor, and with no Republican on the ballot this will likely decide who takes the seat. Watertown’s Marilyn Petitto Devaney seeks re-election, and she is challenged by Mara Dolan of Concord.

Republicans have three choices for U.S. Senate: engineer Robert J. Antonellis, Quincy City Council President Ian Cain, and lawyer and cryptocurrency advocate John Deaton. The winner will face incumbent Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
Other Democratic candidates are running unopposed on the state primary, including U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative in Congress, State Senator, State Representative, Middlesex Clerk of Courts, and Middlesex Southern District Register of Deeds. There are no other candidates on the Republican ballot.

For Precincts 7,8,9, the polls are in the Watertown Middle School gymnasium, which is at the back of the building. Please note, school is in session, so all street entrances around the school are marked as “Do Not Enter – 7am to 4pm. You will need to park on the street rather than in a school lot.
Also, regarding traffic, it is congested not due to volume but multiple construction detours.
