In the presidential election, Massachusetts’ 11 presidential electors were won by Vice President Harris and Governor Walz while nationwide, former President Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance won 312 electors with about 76M votes representing 50.2% of the popular vote.
Attached are tables detailing unofficial results for both offices and questions. According to the Secretary of State, in early December unofficial results will be sent to the Governor and Governor’s Council for final certification, typically completed by mid-December.
Incumbents won re-election: Warren, Rausch and Vaughn were all re-elected by wide margins and Auchincloss ran unopposed.  

In the Governor’s Council race, Civil bested Crimmins across District 2 with substantial votes coming from Stoughton and surrounding areas where Civil had run for State Representative, 6th Norfolk, twice, both times losing in the primary.
In the State Representative race, Vaughn, a resident of Wrentham, was re-elected, besting Kalkut, a Norfolk resident, a second time.
Regarding the ballot questions, Questions 1 through 3 were approved by voters and Questions 4 and 5 were not. Four of the five questions were decided by substantial margins with only Question 3, to enable Lyft and Uber drivers to unionize, being somewhat close.  Interestingly, Norfolk and Wrentham voters opposed Question 3 while voters elsewhere in the state approved it.
In terms of voter turnout, results were essentially flat with 32 fewer Norfolk voters in 2024 in comparison to 2020 while Wrentham had 40 more voters, 6,872 and 7,897 respectively. In contrast, Norfolk had 764 more voters in 2020 than in 2016 and Wrentham had 1,092 more voters, increases of 12% and 16% respectively.
