While covering 10 precincts, keeping six different ballots separate and adjusting to recent changes in polling locations kept Needham Town Clerk Tedi Eaton and her staff busy on Tuesday, the polls themselves weren't all that active for Needham.

Just 3,150 voters turned out to vote on Super Tuesday, about 15 percent of those registered in Needham, and a far cry even from the last presidential primary in 2008, when about 11,570 Needhamites voted, according to Eaton. Although, in 2008, both the Republican and Democratic ballots were full as candidates in both parties vied for the presidential nomination. This year, the primary focus was on the Republicans.

With more on the line for their party, 2,300 Needham Republicans showed up to the polls on Tuesday. Meanwhile, 845 Needham Democrats and four residents registered to the Green-Rainbow Party voted as well.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney easily won his party nomination in Needham, taking 1,837, or nearly 80 percent, of the Republican vote. No other candidate came close to beating Romney in Needham. Rick Santorum came in second with 196 votes (8.5 percent), while Ron Paul came in third in Needham with 134 votes (6 percent).

Though overall turnout was low, Eaton and her staff were busy keeping up with a few issues throughout the day. Having temporarily moved Precincts C and D from Newman Elemenatary School to High Rock School while Newman undergoes renovations, Eaton soon found that the High Rock room was much too small to accommodate both precincts. What made the situation even tricker was that Precinct C was in a different senatorial district than Precinct D and had a different ballot.

"Precinct C was one set of ballots and D was another set of ballots in the same location, so we had to be really careful and stay on top of things," Eaton said.

The town clerk said she would be looking at changing the arrangement for the town election on April 10.

The March 6 presidential primary also marked the first election after Needham's precinct map was redrawn, changing the boundaries of six of the town's 10 voter precincts.

Despite all the changes, the day went without any major issues, Eaton said.

Results were posted to the town clerk's website at needhamma.gov by about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
