Eight special elections were scheduled for the Massachusetts State Legislature in 2013. These elections were called to fill vacancies in the Massachusetts State Senate 2nd Hampden and Hampshire and 1st Suffolk District, and the Massachusetts House of Representatives 6th Bristol, 12th Essex, 28th Middlesex, 8th Suffolk, 12th Suffolk, and 16th Worcester Districts.

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]
