Stoneham Supporters, Voters Spending Tuesday at Polls

Election Day has arrived in Stoneham and residents are trickling into the polls on Tuesday afternoon.

Updated at 2:01 p.m.: According to Town Clerk Maria Sagarino, as of 1 p.m. a total of 1,050 residents have come to the polls. That is about six percent of the 15,302 registered voters in Stoneham. "This is a lot slower than I would have thought," said Sagarino. "The problem is that people think it’s so important to vote for president, so every four years we get a tremendous turnout.
