Mail-in voting has been popular ahead of the state primary on Tuesday, according to local town clerks.
In Barnstable, 6 percent of eligible voters requested a mail-in ballot most of the 7 percent who usually turn out for a state primary, said Town Clerk Ann Quirk.
“There are buckets full,” she said of the returned ballots.
Voters are choosing nominees for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and other statewide offices, along with state legislators and county officials such as sheriff and district attorney.
Some communities also have local races driving turnout. Barnstable, for example, has open seats for Town Council in Precincts 3 and 5.
