Sudbury Super Tuesday Voting: What To Know For 2024

SUDBURY, MA — The biggest day in the presidential nominating process happens on March 5, also known as Super Tuesday.

Massachusetts will be among 16 states (counting a mail-in Democratic primary in Iowa and a Republican primary in Alaska) and American Samoa voting on Super Tuesday — even though the presidential race will assuredly be between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump.

But Massachusetts voters also have other races to vote in: state committee man and committee woman candidates will also be on the ballot (more on that below).

Voting in Sudbury and across Massachusetts will run the usual 7 a.m. to. 8 p.m. on Super Tuesday. If you're voting by mail, drop your ballot in a designated box before 8 p.m., or deliver to the clerk's office. Poll workers do not accept mail-in ballots. Find your polling place here.

Presidential Primary

Voters in Massachusetts don't have to be a member of a political party to vote in a primary. Unenrolled (independent) voters can pick a ballot for any party. Each ballot will also come with a "no preference" option. A group of activists wants voters to pick that option in the Democratic primary. Here are the candidates:

Democratic

• Dean Phillips
• Joseph Biden
• Marianne Williamson

Republican

• Chris Christie (campaign suspended)
• Ryan Binkley (campaign suspended)
• Vivek Ramaswamy (campaign suspended)
• Asa Hutchinson (campaign suspended)
• Donald Trump
• Ron DeSantis (campaign suspended)
• Nikki Haley

Libertarian

• Jacob George Hornberger
• Michael Rectenwald
• Chase Russell Oliver
• Michael Ter Maat
• Lars Damian Mapstead

Committee Man, Woman

Ballots will also feature candidates for State Committee Man and State Committee Woman seats. Each party gets a man and a woman in each of the state's 40 state Senate districts; their duties include promoting their party and organizing candidates.

In Sudbury, state Sen. Jamie Eldridge is running unopposed for the Democratic committee man seat, and Kara M. Le Treize (Southborough) is running for the Democratic committee woman seat. On the Republican side, it's David Lunger (Acton) and Caroline Stewart Cunningham (Sudbury).
