Vote Tomorrow on Library, Underride and School Committee

All Hopkinton precincts vote at the Middle School. Polls are open 7:00am-8:00pm on Monday, May 19. The only contested race is for School Committee, so we are listing those candidates first, in alphabetical order as they appear on the ballot. There are also two ballot questions: a $1.25M Underride and the Library Expansion Project. Click here to view a Specimen Ballot.
