State Election - Nov 8, 2022 - Franklin's "official" vote results

The final and official results for Franklin for the State Election held on and before Nov 8, 2022 can be found in the PDF file attached here. They were released by Town Clerk Nancy Danello.

The final total is 14,657 and increase of 196 votes over the "unofficial" tally released on Nov 8. 

The turnout percentage is 59% which is comparable to the general rule Franklin Matters has developed reviewing the election results since 2003. The general rule is

• about 20% for local elections (odd numbered years for Town Council, etc.)
• about 40% for money elections (school building and/or an override vote)
• about 60% for State elections (like this one, the 'off cycle' to some)
• about 80% for the Presidential elections (every 4 years)

The 2022 MCAS results reflect the standardized tests that were taken in the spring of 2022 in grades three through eight and grade 10. In every subject – math, English, and science – the percentage of students who scored as meeting or exceeding expectations fell between 2019, the last year of full, in-person education, and 2022.  

There were some hopeful signs, with both math and science scores rebounding slightly compared to 2021, indicating that some learning recovery has begun. However, there were also areas where scores have continued to drop, including in writing and elementary school English.  "
