“We are prepared for this election — we’ve seen remarkable turnout in terms of public participation and think people have appreciated the options they are presented with,” Galvin said during a press conference at the State House. “Nevertheless, it is my opinion that we will see more people actually turn out tomorrow than have participated so far,” he added. “To that extent, I do believe we will exceed our record turnout of 2020.”

Secretary of State William F. Galvin

Galvin said Monday that he expects Massachusetts voter turnout for the 2024 election to surpass the state’s 2020 record-setting participation numbers.
