One special election for the Massachusetts General Court took place in 2012. This election was called to fill a vacancy in the Massachusetts State Senate, 2nd Suffolk and Middlesex District.

How vacancies are filled


If there is a vacancy in the Massachusetts General Court, a special election must be conducted to fill the vacant seat. The election must be held on the next regularly scheduled date on the election calendar.[1] Local governments that conduct special elections can receive reimbursement from the state treasurer's office for costs incurred.[2][3]
