What am I voting on: The contested races in today's primary are minimal. Below are a few of the major races.
In the 5th District, three Republicans are vying for the party candidacy in the general election to take on incumbent U.S. Rep. Ed Markey (D-Malden), who is uncontested on the primary ballot.
Here's a look at the Republican ballot for this seat, courtesy of the Secretary of State's office:
| FRANK JOHN ADDIVINOLA, JR. | 1 Longfellow Pl., Boston |
| JEFFREY M. SEMON | 1475 Massachusetts Ave., Lexington |
| TOM TIERNEY |
7 Lomas Dr., Framingham |
On the state representative side of things, two Democrats are vying for their party's nomination in the 13th Middlesex District, which represents Wayland precincts 1, 2 and 3:
| THOMAS P. CONROY (incumbent) |
265 Old Connecticut Path, Wayland |
| STEVEN HAKAR | 10 Foley Dr., Framingham |
Wayland's precinct 4 voters also have a contested representative race on the Democratic ballot in the 14th Norfolk District.
| ALICE HANLON PEISCH (incumbent) |
37 Pine St., Wellesley |
| JEROME B. CARR | 17 Waban St., Wellesley |
In addition, four Democrats have been campaigning for their party's nomination for the Second District Governor's Council seat.
| BRIAN M. CLINTON | 855 Metropolitan Ave., Boston |
| ROBERT L. JUBINVILLE | 487 Adams St., Milton |
| PATRICK J. McCABE | 46 Beacon St., Boston |
| BART ANDREW TIMILTY | 250 Grove St., Boston |
In addition, the much talked about U.S. senator's race will take a back seat in this primary as Republicans will see only incumbent Scott Brown on their ballots and Democrats will see only challenger Elizabeth Warren.
Additional voting information is available on the website of Wayland's town clerk.

Unless there are new developments, I believe Ed Markey does not represent the 5th Congressional District of MA. Your story on the Markey race presumably is true, but it should not refer to the 5th District.

Paul, thank you for your comment. Under the redrawn district maps, Markey is running for re-election in the 5th District. It's true that he is serving the 7th District in his current term, but if he is re-elected, it will be to the 5th District. Therefore, the primary was and general election will be decided by 5th District voters. Does that make sense?
