Election Day is on the horizon in Boston, with two weeks to go until voters make their way to the preliminary polls deciding which candidates they want to see on the November ballot.

The preliminary election will be held Sept. 9. Boston residents can vote in-person, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. — a full list of polling places is available on the city's election website. Early voting is also an option on Aug. 30th and 31, with additional dates Sept. 2 through Sept. 5. You can also vote by mail if you request a ballot by Sept. 2.
