2024 Presidential Election Year Begins


In a nod to the importance of the Midwest in delivering a win to Democrats in this pivotal presidential election year, the Democratic National Party will hold its 2024 national convention in Chicago from August 19 to 22. If you've ever wondered how the delegates in the convention hall end up there (and are perhaps interested in trying to join them in Chicago this year), our latest SHDTC Updates newsletter seeks to shed a little light on a complicated process.

The South Hadley Town Election and the Massachusetts Presidential Primary are both on March 5, 2024. Our local election will be a month earlier than usual this year to be held in conjunction with Primary, as doing the elections together saves the town some money. The date of our primary is also known as Super Tuesday, and Massachusetts will join 15 other states conducting elections or caucuses that day. Our 2024 election dates are:

  • 3.5.24 South Hadley Town Election, FD1+2 Elections, MA Presidential Primary
  • 9.3.24 MA State Primary Election
  • 11.5.24 MA State General Election (includes ballot questions)
