TOWN Updates From The Polls

3:30 p.m. Poll workers at the Parks and Recreation Teen Center (home to Ward 2 voting) said they experienced a heavy rush early this morning, as folks tried to get voting out of the eway before they went to work. Voting remained steady throughout the day.

There was exit polling going on at the exit to the Teen Center being done by a worker for Edison research. This is the company that provides exit polling data for all of the major networks, including CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, etc. So tonight, when you hear about Massachusetts exit polls, know that Ward 2 in Tewksbury is included in those numbers!

3 p.m.: Voting continues to be heavy throughout the town. As of 3 p.m., Precinct 3 had seen 1160 voters, while Precinct 3A had 1218. Plenty of parking at the Lowell Assembly of God and the voting process is going very smoothly.

We also spotted David Gay, chairman of the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen, on Andover Street, holding a sign for Democrat Barbara L'Italien, who is trying to reclaim her seat in the State Legislature from state Rep. Jim Lyons.

11:30 a.m. Exit polling is being conducted at each of the town's four polling locations by Tewksbury High School Seniors. These students are members of the AP Government Class taught by Brian Aylward. We encourage you, if you feel comfortable, to support this project by taking a moment to fill out an exit poll form after you vote.

10:50 a.m.: There has been a problem with a voting machine in Precinct 4 at the Tewksbury Library. According to Town Clerk Denise Graffeo, a memory card in the machine failed and would not allow ballots to be accepted.

Graffeo said she was in contact with the company that supplies the machines and they walked her through the process of replacing the memory card.

As a result, all of the ballots cast so far had to be removed from the machine and re-submitted by hand, by an election worker, for the new memory card. All this was done under the watchful eye of a Tewksbury Police officer.

10:30 a.m.: Voting has been steady, if not heavy, at the four polling locations in town. As of 10:30 a.m., 680 residents has cast ballots in Precinct 1A, 579 at Precinct 1 and 605 at Precinct 4A. The addition of two new polling locations (Parks and Recreation building and Assembly of God Church) is keping down lines and traffic problems.
