Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Massachusetts in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 3, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Massachusetts had 33 contested state legislative primaries on September 3, 2024, the fewest since Ballotpedia started tracking in 2010.
There were 27 contested Democratic primaries and six contested Republican primaries. For both parties that was below the average from 2010 to 2022. The average number of contested Democratic primaries was 36.9 and the average number of contested Republican primaries was 8.3.
In addition to having fewer contested primaries, Massachusetts also had fewer candidates running for state legislative seats in 2024.
There were 279 candidates running in Massachusetts’ state legislative primaries, the fewest since Ballotpedia started tracking in 2010 and about 15.6% below the 2010 to 2022 average of 330.4.
Of all candidates, 218 were Democrats and 61 were Republicans, these were record lows for both parties.
All 200 seats of the Massachusetts General Court were up for election in 2024.
There were 181 incumbents running for reelection. From 2010 to 2022, the average number of incumbents running for reelection was 179.7.
Eighteen incumbents, or about 9.9% faced primary challengers in 2024. Between 2010 to 2022, an average of 19.1, or 10.6% of incumbents faced a primary challenger.
Nineteen incumbents did not file for reelection in 2024. The average number of retirements from 2010 to 2022 was 20.3.
In Ballotpedia’s annual State Legislative Competitiveness report, Massachusetts received the lowest competitiveness index of all states holding elections in years that it had state legislative elections since 2016.
Massachusetts has had a Democratic trifecta since 2023, when Governor Maura Healey (D) assumed office. Since 1992, the state has had 10 years of Democratic trifectas and no Republican trifectas.
Open seats
The table below shows the number and percentage of open seats in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 2010 to 2024.[3] It will be updated as information becomes available following the state’s candidate filing deadline.
| Open Seats in Massachusetts House of Representatives elections: 2010 - 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | Total seats | Open seats | Seats with incumbents running for re-election |
| 2024 | 160 | 16 (10 percent) | 144 (90 percent) |

Legislative referrals
- See also: Legislative referral
A legislative referral, or legislatively referred ballot measure, is a ballot measure that appears on the ballot due to a vote of the state legislature. A legislative referral can be a constitutional amendment, state statute, or bond issue.
As of the 2024 election, a majority approval (50% + 1) was required in two successive joint legislative sessions for the Massachusetts General Court to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. That amounted to a minimum of 101 votes, assuming no vacancies.
At the time of the 2024 election, Democrats held a 36-4 majority in the Senate and 133-25 majority in the House. Republicans needed to win 72 seats to be able to pass legislative referrals without Democratic votes. Democrats needed to lose 69 seats to lose the ability.
Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Massachusetts General Laws, Part I, Title VIII, Chapter 53
For party candidates
Recognized political party candidates seeking access to the primary election ballot must submit nomination papers. Nomination papers are provided by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Nomination papers must be signed by a certain number of registered voters. The number of required signatures varies according to the office being sought.[4][5]
| Required signatures for nomination papers | |
|---|---|
| Office | Required signatures |
| Governor, Attorney General, United States Senator | 10,000 |
| Secretary of the Commonwealth, Treasurer, Auditor | 5,000 |
| United States Representative | 2,000 |
| State Senator | 300 |
| State Representative | 150 |
Candidates who win at least 15% at his or her state party nominating convention automatically appear on the primary ballot.[6] The requirement is a party rule, not a statute.[7]
A candidate must be an enrolled member of the party whose nomination he or she is seeking; with the exception of newly registered voters, the candidate must be enrolled throughout the 90-day period preceding the filing deadline. An individual cannot be a candidate for nomination by one party if he or she was enrolled in any other party during the one-year period preceding the filing deadline. A candidate must prove party affiliation by filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth a certificate of party enrollment signed or stamped by at least three local election officials of the city or town where the candidate is registered. At least one such certificate (which is included on the nomination papers discussed below) must be completed and filed by the filing deadline.[4][8]
Before filing nomination papers, the candidate must make sure that at least one of the certified nomination papers contains a written acceptance of nomination personally signed by either the candidate or his or her authorized attorney. Although the candidate does not have to sign the acceptance space on all nomination papers, the candidate should sign several certified papers to ensure that one of the papers ultimately filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth will include the written acceptance.[4][9]
For the nomination papers to be valid, a candidate for state-level office must also file a receipt from the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission indicating that he or she has filed a statement of financial interest (federal candidates are exempt from this requirement). The receipt must be filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth by the filing deadline. Prior to the filing deadline, a state-level candidate must file a written statement with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance indicating whether the candidate agrees to limit campaign spending. A candidate who does not agree to limit spending may be required to file an additional statement of intended spending prior to the deadline for filing withdrawals of nomination.[4][9]
Nomination papers must be submitted to the registrars of the cities or towns in which signatures were collected for certification prior to final filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth.[4][10]
For non-party candidates
Like party candidates, independents and other non-party candidates gain access to the general election ballot by filing nomination papers. A non-party candidate must file a certificate proving that he or she is a registered voter and is not enrolled in a recognized political party. This certificate is printed on each nomination paper, and at least one of these certificates must be signed and stamped by at least three local elections officials of the city or town where the candidate is registered.[4]
A non-party candidate may state a political designation in no more than three words. Signature requirements are the same as those that apply to party candidates.[4]
| Required signatures for nomination papers | |
|---|---|
| Office | Required signatures |
| Governor, Attorney General, United States Senator | 10,000 |
| Secretary of the Commonwealth, Treasurer, Auditor | 5,000 |
| United States Representative | 2,000 |
| State Senator | 300 |
| State Representative | 150 |
Before filing nomination papers, the candidate must make sure that at least one of the certified nomination papers contains a written acceptance of nomination personally signed by either the candidate or his or her authorized attorney. Although the candidate does not have to sign the acceptance space on all nomination papers, the candidate should sign several certified papers to ensure that one of the papers ultimately filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth will include the written acceptance.[4]
For the nomination papers to be valid, a candidate for state-level office must also file a receipt from the State Ethics Commission indicating that he or she has filed a statement of financial interest (federal candidates are exempt from this requirement). The receipt must be filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth by the filing deadline. Prior to the filing deadline, a state-level candidate must file a written statement with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance indicating whether the candidate agrees to limit campaign spending. A candidate who does not agree to limit spending may be required to file an additional statement of intended spending prior to the deadline for filing withdrawals of nomination.[4][9]
Nomination papers must be submitted to the registrars of the cities or towns in which signatures were collected for certification prior to final filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth.[4][10]
For write-in candidates
An individual is entitled to seek nomination or election by conducting a write-in campaign. No special forms (such as a declaration of intent) are required, but write-in candidates should familiarize themselves with the rules and guidelines that govern the casting of write-in votes. More information about write-in candidacies can be accessed here.[11]
Filing deadlines
Filing deadlines vary according to the type of candidate (i.e., party or non-party) and the office being sought. The table below summarizes the various filing deadlines established by statute.[8][12]
| Filing deadlines | ||
|---|---|---|
| Type of candidate and office sought | Deadline for certification with local officials | Final filing deadline |
| Party and non-party candidates for the Massachusetts General Court | 5:00 p.m. on the 28th day preceding the final filing deadline[10] | 5:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday in May in the year the election is to be held |
| Party candidates for federal and statewide office | 5:00 p.m. on the 28th day preceding the final filing deadline[10] | 5:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday in June in the year the election is to be held |
| Non-party candidates for federal and statewide office | 5:00 p.m. on the 28th day preceding the final filing deadline[10] | 5:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday in August in the year the election is to be held |

Footnotes
- ↑ Candidates had to submit nomination papers to their local election offices for signature verification by April 30, 2024. They had until May 28, 2024, to file those certified signatures with the state.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
- ↑ Ballotpedia defines a seat as open if the incumbent did not file to run for re-election or filed but withdrew and did not appear on any ballot for his or her seat. If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
