Candidates on the ballot for the September 1, 2026 Massachusetts state primary, for every legislative district with a contested primary — that is, where more than one candidate of the same party is running. Districts where both parties field a single candidate are not listed.
Where a district is contested for one party only, the other party’s candidate is shown marked unopposed. Sitting legislators are marked incumbent, and seats whose incumbent is not seeking re-election are flagged as open. District names link to the full district page with maps, demographics, and election history.
