Presidential Candidates Finalized For November Election
One week after voters selected party nominees for other offices, candidates for President and Vice President on the Massachusetts November 5 State Election ballot have now been finalized, Secretary of the Commonwealth William F. Galvin announced today.
As required by state law, the surnames of the candidates for president and vice president will be printed on the ballot in alphabetical order. The following candidate names will appear on Massachusetts ballots:
- AYYADURAI and ELLIS, Independent
- DE LA CRUZ and GARCIA, Socialism and Liberation
- HARRIS and WALZ, Democratic
- OLIVER and TER MAAT, Libertarian
- STEIN and CABALLERO-ROCA, Green-Rainbow Party
- TRUMP and VANCE, Republican
A seventh presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., submitted a sufficient number of signatures to qualify for the ballot. In light of the candidate’s recent public statements about the status of his campaign, the Kennedy campaign has assented to the removal of his name from the ballot in Massachusetts.
In addition to selecting electors for president and vice president, voters in November will also see the offices of U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Governor’s Councillor, State Senator, State Representative, Clerk of Courts, Register of Deeds, and certain other county offices on their ballots.
Party nominees for the above offices were selected at last Tuesday’s State Primaries. Secretary Galvin announced today that 841,855 voters casts ballots in that election. Among those voters, 619,754 voted in the Democratic Primary, 217,963 voted in the Republican Primary, and 4,138 voted in the Libertarian Primary. Turnout in the 2024 State Primaries was the second highest for a state primary in a presidential election year since 1992.
Finalized results for the State Primaries and a complete list of November State Election candidates will be available on Galvin’s website after recounts have been completed.
