Massachusetts Prepares for 2026 Primary Elections with Key Deadlines and Candidate Listings
Massachusetts is gearing up for its 2026 primary elections, scheduled for September 1. Voters will select candidates for numerous state offices, including U.S. Senator, Governor, and other key positions. The primary election is open to all registered voters, with ballots separated by party affiliation. Unaffiliated voters can choose one primary to participate in. The state has already sent vote-by-mail applications to registered voters, with ballots expected to be mailed by early August. The primary will not include the state's nine ballot questions, which will appear on the general election ballot in November. Key deadlines include voter registration by August 22 and vote-by-mail applications by August 25.
