Beverly Election 2019: Here's Who's Running

BEVERLY, MA — Mayor Mike Cahill will run unopposed for reelection this year, but Beverly will see contested races for City Council in Wards three and five and a contested school committee race in Ward Four. The busiest race will be in Ward 3, where four candidates are running for the City Council seat held by James Latter, who is not running for reelection. Candidates had until five p.m. Tuesday to return nomination papers to have their names included on the ballot.

The crowded Ward 3 race means Beverly will have a preliminary election on Sept. 24 to narrow the field of candidates to two. The last day to register to vote in the preliminary election is Sept. 4. The general election is Nov. 5. The last day to register to vote in the general election is October 16. The City Clerk’s office will be open until 8 p.m. on Sept. 4 and Oct. 16 to accommodate voter registrations.

While there are no challengers for the three, incumbent at-large city councilors, the highest vote getter in the November election will be City Council President for the 2020-21 term.
