Cities and towns must keep polling locations open for at least 13 hours in this year's upcoming primary and general election days. That will cost municipalities $2,083,736.08:

The state will owe cities and towns more than $2 million to keep polling places open for additional mandated voting hours during the September 2022 state primary and November 2022 general elections, Auditor Suzanne Bump said Tuesday.

For fiscal year 2023 elections, including the state primaries in September and the general election in November, Bump said the extra hours will result in $2,083,736.08 in added costs for municipalities. She said last year's redistricting and reprecincting efforts resulted in an increase of $206,634.60 or about 11 percent from her office's preliminary certification, with 89 communities across Massachusetts expected to incur higher costs as a result of the changes.
