Primary tallies in Plympton-Halifax

September 25, 2014 By Kathleen Peloquin, Media Editor

Express editor

In a state primary election noted mainly for low voter participation, there was little by way of surprises in the outcome Tuesday.

Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Charlie Baker, as expected, carried their respective nominations for governor in the Nov. 4 general election. Democrats statewide also tapped Maura Healy over Warren Tolman for attorney general.

Locally, it was not a day of heightened activity at the polls. Less than 20 percent of registered voters cast ballots.

From the start, local town clerks were not certain that percentage would make it out of the single digits.

Only a handful of residents were at the Plympton polls at 8:30 a.m., and only 37 votes had been cast at that point.

There are 5,192 registered voters in Halifax and 764 or 14.7% voted.  Out of 2,092 registered voters in Plympton, 351 cast their ballots, or 17%
