UF note: Massachusetts also publishes a party breakdown, but its "Cast" figures (by party) are far larger than the statewide total ballots cast on its own overall-statistics sheet, in nearly every town - checked directly, these do not reconcile with this cycle's own mail-ballot activity (e.g. one town shows 0 ballots returned total but a nonzero "Dem Cast"). Michael has asked the state about the discrepancy (2026-10-13); until that's resolved, this pipeline uses only the overall (non-party) statistics below.
