Wakefield Super Tuesday Voting: What To Know For 2024

WAKEFIELD, 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. In Wakefield, voters will also choose Town Committee candidates.

Voting in Wakefield 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.

More information on the primary is available at the town's website. Sample ballots are available 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.

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
