Nearly 44% Of Massachusetts Voters Have Already Cast Ballots In November Election

BOSTON (CBS) – The last day of early voting in Massachusetts is Friday and it appears to have been a big hit.

According to the Secretary of State's office, 43.8 percent of all registered voters in Massachusetts have already voted as of Thursday.

More than 2.1 million ballots have been returned so far. That's equal to about 62-percent of all the ballots cast in the 2016 election in the state.

If you haven't mailed your ballot yet, Secretary of State Bill Galvin recommends hand-delivering it to the drop box in your town.

The exact time that early voting ends Friday is a little different in every community. In some it ends as early at noon, while others close at 5 p.m.
