BOSTON (AP) — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is joining members of the cast of “Hamilton” to encourage residents to vote early.

The Democratic mayor and members of the hit musical cast will hold the early voting event on Saturday at the Bruce C. Bolling Building in Roxbury.

Early voting for the Nov. 6 election started on Monday Oct. 22 in Massachusetts and runs through Friday Nov. 2. It’s designed to give people more flexibility to find a convenient time to get to the polls.

All registered voters are free to vote early at Boston City Hall or other locations across the city.

Statewide races on the ballot this year include governor and secretary of state. Boston voters will also choose a new district attorney for Suffolk County.
