According to Town Clerk Doreen Tremblay, roughly 2,000 Bedford residents took part in early voting. With approximately 4,000 voters casting ballots at the polls between 7 am and 2 pm, those 6,000 voters mean a 60% turnout. And the after work, last-minute rush has yet to be counted!

It could be a record, but ONLY if YOU VOTE! Bedford’s polls will be open until 8 pm at the John Glenn Middle School.

See you there when you arrive to make it a record-breaking day!

Simmons College freshman and 2018 BHS graduate Helen Pulizzi wrote, “237 days ago we walked out and registered our classmates to vote [after the Parkland, FL student shootings]. Today I voted. For me. For them. For a future of peace, civility, and safety, and for the dignity of all people to be respected.”
