Sec. Galvin predicts turnout for midterm election in Massachusetts
Galvin cited a dramatic rise in early in-person voting but said searches for polling places are down, leaving total turnout uncertain.
- On Monday, Secretary of State William Galvin urged Massachusetts voters to participate in Tuesday's midterm election, framing it as a referendum on the nation's direction while declining to predict total turnout.
- While more than 1.1 million people have already voted early, Galvin expressed uncertainty about whether the state's 5 million registered voters will reach the 2.5 million turnout of 2022 or the 2.7 million of 2018.
- Voters face nine ballot questions including a proposal to legalize Election Day registration backed by Galvin, who suggested the volume reflects "a certain frustration with accomplishment when it comes to government."
- Polls open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with federal election monitors deployed in Boston and Lowell; Galvin said he is "not terribly worried" about federal interference in the state's elections.
- Democrats appear poised to maintain legislative supermajorities, while Governor Maura Healey faces Republican Mike Minogue for governor. Galvin seeks a ninth term against Republican Anne Brensley in what he called his final campaign.
