Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:ElectionsMA Boston City Council elections were held on November 5, 2019.[1] Nomination forms could be submitted starting April 17, and candidates had a filing deadline of May 21.[2] A preliminary election was held on September 24.[3] By law, Boston municipal elections are nonpartisan—candidates do not represent a specific political party.

For the four at-large seats: all four incumbents sought re-election. Election night results showed that three incumbents were re-elected, and one new at-large councillor was elected, by a margin of only 10 votes over the next-highest vote-getter.[1] A recount of that race confirmed that result but by only a single vote.[4]

For the nine district seats: six incumbents sought re-election; two were contested and four ran uncontested—election night results showed that all six were re-elected.[1] Three new district councillors were elected, for seats where incumbents were not seeking re-election. All district winners won by comfortable margins.[1]

Council members elected in November 2019 were inaugurated on January 6, 2020.[5]

Incumbents

The council members at the time of both the preliminary election and general election were as listed below.[6] The table further indicates if each incumbent ran for re-election, and if so, whether they were re-elected or not.

2019 Boston City Council preliminary election signs in front of polling location.

A preliminary election was held on September 24 to select candidates for four districts, and at-large, for the general election.[20] Voter turnout was 11.17%, as 44,972 of the city's 402,536 registered voters cast ballots.[21] The general election was held on November 5, registering 16.5% voter turnout,[22] as 67,011 ballots were cast.[23]

At-large

The top eight vote-getters in the preliminary election qualified for the general election of four seats.[24] Late on the night of the general election, with only a 10-vote margin between candidates for the final at-large seat, fifth-placed Alejandra Nicole St. Guillen called for a recount.[22] The election department subsequently corrected the tallies of some hand-counted ballots, resulting in a margin of five votes as of November 13 (22,477 to 22,472),[25] and tallied provisional ballots, resulting in a margin of eight votes on November 15 (22,500 to 22,492).[23]

Boston election laws require that a candidate seeking a recount submit 50 signatures from registered voters within each wardШаблон:Efn where a recount is requested, within 10 days of the election.[26] On November 15, St. Guillen submitted 2,000 signatures in support of a recount.[23] Recount signatures, and the results in all other contests, were planned to be certified by Board of Election Commissioners on November 20.[27] The date for the recount was subsequently announced as December 7.[28] The result of the recount was announced on December 9, and confirmed Julia Mejia as winner of the final seat, by a margin of one vote—22,492 votes to 22,491 votes.[4] On December 10, St. Guillen conceded the race, rather than appealing contested ballots.[29]

Question 1 Votes %
