Whether you’re anticipating it with dread, hope, or exhaustion – you can pick two – election day is almost here.

Early in-person voting ended Friday and it’s too late to drop a ballot in the mail, but if you requested one in advance, you can still return it to Town Hall by 8 p.m. on Nov. 5. If you’ve already done that, or mailed your ballot earlier, you can track its status here.

For everyone else, polls in Plymouth will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday at all precinct polling locations. If you don’t know where you should cast your ballot, check here.

While the focus has been on the wild race for president between Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump, local voters are also choosing who will represent Plymouth in the state House of Representatives and Senate, as well as weighing in on five binding ballot questions. And then there are decisions to be made on positions that include county commissioner, county clerk, and register of deeds.

An important note: Because of the town’s size, it’s part of two state districts, so the ballot will look slightly different depending on where you live.

Here’s a sample ballot for voters in precincts 4, 6-12, and 14-18.

Here’s a sample ballot for voters in precincts 1, 2, 3, 5, and 13.

If you have questions, call the town’s clerk’s office at Town Hall – 508-322-3433.

As far as making sense of the madness that is the 2024 presidential election, you’re on your own. We’re fairly confident that the sun will rise on Nov. 6
