LYNNFIELD — It will not take a rocket scientist or Las Vegas oddsmakers to predict that the turnout for the presidential election in November will be much higher than the state primary on Sept. 3.

According to the official results released by Town Clerk Amanda Haggstrom, 1,648 out of Lynnfield’s 9,903 registered voters cast ballots in the state primary, equaling a 16.6 percent turnout. She wrote on the Town Clerk’s Office Facebook page that 1,156 out of the 1,648 ballots were cast by mail.

“Over six days, 33 voters cast their ballots during in-person early voting,” Haggstrom stated.

Democratic primary

The Democratic primary included two contested races.

In the Southern Essex District Registry of Deeds race, Governor’s Councilor Eileen Duff of Gloucester defeated Southern Essex District Registry of Deeds employee/U.S. Navy veteran Joseph Michael Gentleman III of Peabody 645 votes to 201 votes. Duff defeated Gentleman district-wide as well as in Lynnfield

Incumbent Essex County Clerk of Courts Thomas H. Driscoll Jr. cruised past former Beverly City Councilor at-Large James FX Doherty 681 votes to 155 votes. Driscoll, who also defeated Doherty district-wide, will be running against Lynnfield resident/Boston Bruins Anthem Singer Todd Angilly during the November election. Angilly is running as an independent candidate.

There were no other races appearing on the Democratic primary ballot. Governor’s Councilor Terry Kennedy of Stafford Road received 833 votes. State Sen. Brendan Crighton earned 815 votes.

Congressman Seth Moulton received 867 votes. U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren earned 838 votes.

While there were no Democratic candidates running for state representative, there were 18 write-ins.

Republican primary

Attorney John Deaton won a three-way primary in Lynnfield and statewide for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. He will be facing off against Warren in November.

Deaton, a former U.S. Marine and cryptocurrency attorney who was born in Detroit, received 427 votes during the Republican primary. Industrial engineer Bob Antonellis finished second with 224 votes and Quincy City Council President Ian Cain was third after getting 31 votes.

House Minority Leader Brad Jones, who ran unopposed for the Republican nomination for the 20th Middlesex District once again, was the recipient of 584 votes.

Former Rockport Housing Authority Commissioner Jonathan Edward Ring, who ran unopposed for Southern Essex District Register of Deeds in the GOP primary, received 505 votes.

There were no candidates running for Congress, Governor’s Council, State Senate and Clerk of Courts in the Republican primary.  There were 14 write-ins for Congress, eight for Governor’s Council and nine for State Senate. Angilly received three write-in votes for Clerk of Courts in the GOP primary even though he is running as an independent candidate.
