Registered Voters

Massachusetts publishes voter-registration counts by town through the Secretary of the Commonwealth. As in most of the state, Tyngsborough’s largest bloc by far is voters who choose no party at all, which is worth knowing before anyone tells you how this town votes.

  • Total registered: 10,596
  • Unenrolled (no party): 7,766 (73.29%)
  • Democrats: 1,673 (15.79%)
  • Republicans: 1,053 (9.94%)
  • Political designations: 104 (0.98%)

Those are state figures for the whole electorate. The Town Clerk’s certified sheet for the annual town election of May 19, 2026 counted 10,466 voters registered for that ballot across four precincts, and 2,189 of them cast one, which is 20.92 percent. Those 2,189 voters filled fifteen town seats across eleven contests and settled a fire station borrowing.
