All of 2020 has led to this: It’s Election Day. Here’s where to go and when

This is it. This is not a drill. Election Day is here.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Tuesday, November 3 — if you’re not one of the hundreds of Grafton residents who mailed in their ballots or voted early — polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. If you are still in line at 8 p.m., you will still be allowed to vote. Wear a mask and stay socially distanced.

Grafton students have the day off from school, so parking at the polls should not be an issue. Precincts 1, 2, and 3 vote at Grafton Middle School, while Precincts 4 and 5 vote at the Millbury Street Elementary School.

The big race on the ballot, of course, is for president, with incumbents Donald Trump and Michael Pence seeking a second term against former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris running as their Democratic opponents. Also on the ballot are Green Party candidates Howie Hawkins/Angela Nicole Walker and Libertarian candidates Jo Jorgensen/Spike Cohen.
