A number of Medford’s registered voters are taking advantage of early voting, a new option made available by the state this year. Voting took place October 25 through November 4, and early indicators suggest that total turnout could surpass 2012’s 73% mark. According to the latest numbers from the Mayor’s office, over 7,000 registered voters participated in early voting, which is 19% of all registered voters.
