KEENE, NH- In what is being called the most highly anticipated general election in of any 4 year period was well under way Tuesday.

Citywide voters started coming out early to voice their choice across all 5 wards; by late morning Ward 1 was ushering in voters at a very steady pace, while the lightest turn out at that point in time had to be Ward 2, as for Ward 3 some would describe it as a very ambitious turnout, at the Symonds school, voters in Ward 4 had no lines to worry about and were greeted by election volunteers and off to cast their ballot within a matter of moments.

In Ward 5 voters seemed fine with the fact their polling center had been changed from the Trinity Lutheran church to the Keene High School’s cafeteria, a move which was made to accommodate a larger than usual turnout.

A turnout which according to Ward 5 Election volunteer Mary Fay they’re overly excited about and expect it to grow over the course of the day.
