SWAMPSCOTT — Early voting has begun for Swampscott residents to cast their vote for the 2025 local town elections.
The polls will be open for residents from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, the final day for early voting.
Community members are encouraged to head down to Town Hall throughout this week to cast their votes for their candidates of choice prior to the election officially kicking off April 29 from 7-8 p.m. at 22 Monument Ave.
A booth was set up on the first floor of Town Hall where residents could stroll inside and cast their vote, making the process as easy as possible for community members. Jonathan Leamon was the volunteer positioned behind the booth, where he welcomed incoming residents and encouraged them to vote.
“I’m here for residents with early voting, and actually, we’ve had quite the turnout already,” Leamon said. He said that in the two days the town had early voting, 122 people showed up to cast their early votes.
“We started yesterday, and early voting goes through Friday,” Leamon added. “We hope that as many people as possible vote, seeing as how election day is next Tuesday, which will be held at Swampscott High School for all town precincts.”
Assistant Town Clerk Michael Brison also commented on the impact voters can make in town, and his hopes for this coming election.
“We’re just hoping that there’s going to be a large turnout,” Brison said. “Typically, local elections don’t bring a real large turnout, but we’re all hoping for the best.”
