Because they are in the middle of four-year terms, mayors were not on the ballot in Boston (Martin Walsh), Everett (Carlo DeMaria Jr.), Framingham (Yvonne Spicer), Holyoke (Alex Morse), Lawrence (Daniel Rivera), Lynn (Thomas McGee), Newburyport (Donna Holaday), Newton (Ruthanne Fuller), Northampton (David Narkewicz), Salem (Kimberly Driscoll), and West Springfield (William Reichelt).

Eleven communities with a city form of government – Amherst, Barnstable, Bridgewater, Chelsea, East Longmeadow, Franklin, North Attleborough, Palmer, Randolph, Southbridge, Watertown and Winthrop – have councils but do not have mayors. Of this group, Bridgewater, East Longmeadow, North Attleborough, Palmer and Southbridge did not vote yesterday, as they hold their elections each spring.

A regular municipal election was also held in the town of Saugus, which follows a city election schedule, where voters elected selectmen, town meeting members and other town officials. Three other towns – Easton, Lakeville and Yarmouth – held special elections with a single ballot question.
