MacArthur School is at 5494 Lincoln St, not Douglas St.
Most of the races listed will not be on the ballot on today's primary election

According to this Ward 9/Precinct 1 is at the govt center, I thought it was the waltham housing on Pine St?

As I didn't fill out my censuses last winter, my name is not on the voting list. How can I fix this?

Hi Mary,
The deadline to register to vote in the state primary was Aug. 17. I would suggest calling the city clerk at 781-314-3120.

The Housing facility on Pine Street is named after Arthur Clark. Someone confused that location with government center, also named after Clark.
This same mistake also appeared year ago:

In the list from 2011, the address of the MacArthur school was also incorrectly shown as Douglas Street, but it was fixed in response to a reader comment. Now, the same mistake has re-appeared.
