About 3.5 million Massachusetts voters participated in this year’s election, Galvin said. In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, voters cast the highest number of ballots in Massachusetts history with more than 3.

While voter turnout in Massachusetts was high in 2024, election officials noticed some major cities seeing a decrease in turnout and voter registration.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth released Massachusetts' official presidential election turnout statistics, and they show a drop in participation from last cycle.

Massachusetts Secretary William F. Galvin on Monday announced that there was a “significant drop” in voter turnout for the 2024 presidential election in several communities after he received official certified voting results from all 351 cities and towns.
