The 1966 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1966. Governor John A. Volpe was reelected to a four-year term. He defeated former Attorney General Edward J. McCormack Jr. in the general election.[1] This was the first election held since Governor's term of office was extended from two to four years.
Governor Volpe was unopposed for renomination.
Volpe defeated McCormack by over a half million votes. He won the majority of the votes in every Massachusetts county.[2] This was the last general election in which the Governor and Lt. Governor were elected separately.
