where do I vote?

I live near Ball Square on the Medford side. Does anyone know where I'm supposed to vote, or how I can find out where to vote?

Also, if you are registered independent, can you vote in the primaries?

What about Greens? I'm still registered as a Green, not an Unenroled, but since my party isn't official, do I get to pick a primary?

That is a good question -- which I do not know the answer to. I suggest that you call the Secretary of State's office, or the Somerville election commission, or both, tomorrow morning.

OK, I called the Somerville election department and asked. Their answer is "no". Since the Green-Rainbow party is no longer recognized as a "major party", you are now enrolled in a "political designation". That means you can't vote in any party primary. To avoid this in the future, you may want to re-register as "unenrolled".
