Primary election competitiveness
This section contains information about the primary election competitiveness of election in Massachusetts. For more information about this data, click here.
U.S. House competitiveness
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Massachusetts in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 29, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Nineteen candidates ran for Massachusetts's nine U.S. House districts, including nine Democrats and ten Republicans. That's 2.1 candidates per district, less than the three candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.44 in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Massachusetts was apportioned nine districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 19 candidates who ran this year were eight fewer than the 27 candidates who ran in 2020 and 12 fewer than the 31 who ran in 2018. Fourteen candidates ran in 2016, 20 in 2014, and 28 in 2012.
All incumbents filed to run for re-election, meaning there were no open seats this year. There was one open seat in 2020 and 2018, no open seats in 2016 and 2014, and one open seat in 2012.
The 8th and 9th districts drew the most candidates in 2022, with one Democrat and two Republicans running in each. There were two contested primaries this year, both Republican. That number was three fewer than in 2020, when there were five contested primaries, and six fewer than in 2018, when there were eight contested primaries. There was one contested primary in 2016, three in 2014, and nine in 2012.
No incumbents faced primary challengers this year. That number was down from 2020, when three incumbents faced primary challengers, and 2018, when five incumbents did. No incumbents faced primary challengers in 2016, two did in 2014, and three did in 2012.
The 4th district was guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed. No districts were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed.
State executive competitiveness
State legislative competitiveness
Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Massachusetts in 2022. Information below was calculated on Aug. 30, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Massachusetts had 44 contested state legislative primaries in 2022, 11% of the total number of possible primaries, and a 19% increase from 2020.
A primary is contested when more candidates file to run than there are nominations available, meaning at least one candidate must lose.
Of the 44 contested primaries, there were 40 for Democrats and four for Republicans. For Democrats, this was up from 33 in 2020, a 21% increase. For Republicans, the number remained the same compared to 2020.
Twenty-one primaries featured an incumbent, representing 12% of all incumbents running for re-election. This was down from 2020 when 23 incumbents faced contested primaries.
Of the 21 incumbents in contested primaries, 20 were Democrats and one was a Republican.
Overall, 314 major party candidates—236 Democrats and 78 Republicans—filed to run. All 160 House and 40 Senate districts held elections.
Twelve of those districts were open, meaning no incumbents filed. This guaranteed that at least 12% of the legislature would be represented by newcomers in 2023.

Voter information
How the primary works
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Massachusetts utilizes a semi-closed primary system. An unaffiliated voter is allowed to vote in the primary election of his or her choice.[3][4]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Poll times
In Massachusetts, most polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. However, municipalities may open their polls as early as 5:45 a.m. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[5]
Registration requirements
- Check your voter registration status here.
To vote in Massachusetts, one must be a United States citizen, a resident of Massachusetts, and at least 18 years old on or before Election Day.[6]
The deadline for registration is 10 days prior to the election. A voter can register online, by mail, or in person at any registration office or the Registry of Motor Vehicles. A form of identification is required to register. The following are acceptable forms of identification:[6]
- Valid driver's license
- State-issued identification card
- Current utility bill
- Bank statement
- Paystub
- Government-issued check
- Any other government document displaying the voter's name and address
Automatic registration
Massachusetts automatically registers eligible individuals to vote through the Department of Motor Vehicles, division of medical assistance, health insurance connector authority, and other agencies that collect what state law defines as reliable citizenship information.[7]
Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Massachusetts has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.[8]
Same-day registration
Massachusetts does not allow same-day voter registration.[8]
Residency requirements
To register to vote in Massachusetts, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible.[6]
Verification of citizenship
Massachusetts does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual must attest that they are a U.S. citizen when registering to vote. According to the state's voter registration application, the penalty for an illegal registration is a "fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years or both."[9]
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[10] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The Elections and Voting page, run by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Massachusetts does not require voters to present identification (ID) while voting, in most cases.[11]
However, voters will be asked to show ID in the following circumstances:
| “ | ” |
The following list of accepted ID was current as of August 2024:
- A driver's license
- A state ID card
- A recent utility bill
- A rent receipt or lease.
- A copy of a voter registration affidavit
- A letter from a school dormitory or housing office
- Any other printed identification which contains your name and address
| “ | Acceptable identification must include your name and the address at which you are registered to vote. Examples of acceptable identification include: a driver's license, state-issued ID card, recent utility bill, rent receipt, lease, a copy of a voter registration affidavit, or any other printed identification which contains the voter's name and address.[12] | ” |
Early voting
Massachusetts permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.
Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.
Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.
Absentee voting
Any eligible voter has the option to vote by absentee/mail-in ballot in all elections.[13]

- ↑ Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
