This is Side Two
This page is the arena for this office, this cycle. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot.
When
- Next regular Mayor election: Tuesday 6 November 2029 (four-year municipal clock; last Mayor election 4 November 2025)
- Not 2026. Boston does not elect a Mayor in even federal years. The Massachusetts Municipal Association list and the city charter set this race on the odd-year municipal clock.
This is not a Governor race. Massachusetts’s Governor clock is a different office. The 2026 statewide ballot is not this Mayor’s hiring.
Who is on the ballot
Do not take names from a news comment or a text thread.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Boston Elections
- City of Boston Election Department — boston.gov
- Current Mayor of record — Mayor’s Office
- Registration — Secretary of the Commonwealth voter status
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins.
What you are hiring
You are hiring the Mayor of Boston for this city — four years, strong-mayor charter, thirteen-member City Council as the check. Read the office page first. Politics, law, technology, justice, ministry, education, intelligence, outreach, remedy, relief, service, due process, and rights on this land are the job. Not a slogan.
