Southborough’s voter turnout was another low one for the Tuesday Special Election primary. Of the registered voters eligible to participate, only 8.58% cast a vote. 71% of those votes were for the Democratic Ballot.
Among Southborough voters, the popular choices didn’t reflect the overall results for the 5th District.
The 5th District Democratic Primary winner (by 32%) was Katherine Clark. In Southborough, she only garnered 24% of the vote.
Southborough’s top ballot choice was Karen Spilka, with 41% of the vote. She placed third in the district with only 13%.
In the Republican Primary, 42% of Southborough’s voters chose Mike Stopa. He came in second for the 5th District with 26% of the vote.
The District Primary winner, Frank Addivinola, was in 2nd place in Southborough with 37% of the vote. (Of course, with turnout so low, that was only a difference of six votes.)
I’ve included charts of the primary results by district below for those of you who want more details.
