Of Bedford’s more than 10,000 voters, fewer than 10% voted in last week’s early voting, so there are a lot of people eligible to vote tomorrow.
Massachusetts is among the 14 states holding primaries on Tuesday, March 3. Fewer than 4% of the delegates needed to nominate a Democratic candidate in this summer’s convention have been decided, with 1,357 delegates at stake on Super Tuesday.
The Bedford Citizen will post updates throughout the day, as well as unofficial tallies when the polls close, and the final numbers when they are released by Interim Town Clerk Rosemary Harvell.
