Primary election results for Halifax and Plympton

September 15, 2016 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Halifax and Plympton had better turnout at the Commonwealth’s Primary Election on Thursday, Sept. 8 than other towns in the area.  Halifax had 400 ballots taken, for 7% of their total 5453 registered voters and Plympton had 12% of their 2090 registered voters come out to vote.

The state had predicted a low voter turnout, and they were right.  Secretary of State William Galvin had predicted a 10 % overall turnout.

Both Whitman and Hanson, however, posted a disappointing 3% voter turnout.

In Halifax, results posted by Town Clerk Barbara Gaynor are as follows:
