Early voting for Boston City Council Districts 3, 5, 6, and 7 preliminary municipal election begins September 2 and is available at different locations.
The other district races and the at-large City Council race did not have enough qualified candidates to trigger a preliminary. The purpose of the preliminary election is to narrow the election to the top two candidates for the district race.
In Jamaica Plain, the District 6 City Council race includes three candidates: current city councilor Kendra Lara, Jamaica Plain resident Ben Weber, and West Roxbury resident William King.
