Turnout was slow but steady Tuesday morning for the primary election at Hopkinton Middle School’s Brown Gym. According to town clerk Connor Degan, approximately 4,000 residents — 32 percent of the town’s eligible voters — requested mail-in ballots for this election. Mail-in ballots that have not been mailed can be dropped off at the middle school or in the drop box in front of Town Hall until the polls close at 8 p.m.

Usually during an election there are many people holding signs at the entrance to the polling station, but supporters were scarce late Tuesday morning — just one person and a few signs on fences (below).
