Vogler O nly 137 registered Saugus voters showed up at the Saugus Public Library’s Community Room during six days of In-Person Early Voting in August (24-30) for last month’s state primary election. The library voter turnout for the presidential primary during six days of In-Person Early Voting (Feb. 24-March 1) for this year’s Presidential Primary was twice as good. But the 272 voters it drew was just a fraction of the town’s 22,154 registered voters. “I think In-Person Early Voting for the primaries is a waste,” Saugus Town Clerk Ellen Joyce Schena said as her offi ce staff and team of part-time election workers prepared for another dozen days of In-Person Early voting for this year’s Presidential Election. “The primaries don’t draw a lot of people anyway. I think you should either have In-Person Early Voting or Early Voting by Mail. Nobody comes out for the primaries. You don’t really need two of them for the primaries,” she said. A vast majority of Saugus voters will still wait for the Nov. CAMPAIGN | SEE PAGE 2 Brenton H.
