Notes:

[1]Elected.
[2]"MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION. On Monday last, in conformity to the Constitution, the citizens of this state made their election of GOVERNOR, LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, SENATORS and COUNCILLORS, for the ensuing year. The Federal Republicans--just to their principles, and ever delighting to honor fidelity in office, true patriotism, talents and consistency--gave their suffrages for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor to the gentlemen who now sustain those important offices.--And they have again been successful. We hazard but little in pronouncing, that those faithful officers of the People have been elected by larger majorities than last year. On this we feel confident the federalists in every part of the union will congratulate us." The Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). April 6, 1803.
[3]"From BREWSTER, Barnstable county.-- 'Thus has the new town of Brewster evidenced its faith in the principles of the venerale elder whose name it bears:--For Governor STRONG 96 votes; for Lieutenant-Governor ROBBINS 93; and as Senator, for Richard Sears, Esq. 89 votes;--and not one for any democrat.'" The Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). April 9, 1803.
[4]Falmouth Town records report 95 votes for Elbridge Gerry.
[5]The votes from Adams were rejected.
[6]The Sun (Pittsfield, MA) reports 53 votes for Elbridge Gerry.
[7]The votes from Swansea were rejected.
[8]No votes were recorded in Baldwin.
[9]No votes were recorded in Bridgton.
[10]The votes from Cape Elizabeth were rejected.
[11]The votes from Falmouth were rejected.
[12]No votes were recorded in Freeport.
[13]The votes from Gorham were rejected.

[15]No votes were recorded in Gray.
[16]No votes were recorded in Hebron.
[17]No votes were recorded in Minot.
[18]The votes from New Gloucester were rejected.

[24]The votes from Portland were rejected.
[25]No votes were recorded in Raymond Plantation.
[26]The votes from Standish were rejected.

[42]There were no votes recorded in the Plantation adjacent to Bowdoin.
[43]"The correspondent who favoured us with the statement of the Charlestown votes, observed 'By the enclosed statement you will perceive that the sun of Federalism is but a few degrees below the horizon, in this town. With a little more exertion, we hope, another year, to see it rising upon us, with its usual splendor.'" The New-England Palladium (Boston, MA). April 5, 1803.
[44]Edward H. Robbins and James Bowdoin were candidates for Lieutenant Governor. Since these candidates only received three votes each in the Lieutenant Governor election, it is probable that their votes in the election for Governor were meant to be votes for Lieutenant Governor.
[45]The votes from Plimpton were rejected.
[46]There were no votes recorded in Hull.
[47]"CORRESPONDENCE--To the Editor. ... From WORCESTER.--'Federalism still retains its erect attitude in this county. We are in the habit of "managing our own affairs in our own way;" and therefore do not very well like that BONAPARTE, or any other European, should manage two millions of our money in their way. The Democrats are loosing ground every where; and we believe citizen PAINE will be able on his return to Washington, to convince his friend that the people of Massachusetts "are fast returning to their first love." The Columbian Centinel. Massachusetts Federalist (Boston, MA). April 6, 1803.
[48]The votes from Gerry were rejected.
[49]The Original Election Returns tally sheet lists 100 votes for Caleb Strong in Worcester.
[50]There were no votes recorded in Bethel.
[51]This town is listed in the Official Records as "Coxhall, or Lyman." The name had been changed on February 26, 1803 "as a token of respect, it is believed, to Theodore Lyman, of Boston, originally of York, Me." A History and Description of New England, General and Local. 201.
