Massachusetts voters voiced their choice in the 2024 Election on Tuesday.
This year’s election features a top-of-the-ticket battle between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for the White House.
Massachusetts residents were also be asked to vote in U.S. Senate and U.S. House races, among other contests.
Additionally, Bay Staters also had five ballot questions to answer that will play a major role in shaping education, drug policy, the restaurant industry, the rideshare industry, and the regulation of the Massachusetts state legislature.
Boston 25 News will be providing LIVE updates on-air and online throughout the day.
