Boston City Council elections were held on November 2, 1993. All thirteen seats (nine district representatives and four at-large members) were contested in the general election, while ten seats (six districts and the four at-large members) had also been contested in the preliminary election held on September 21, 1993.
The large number of preliminary candidates followed a reduction in the number of signatures required for a candidate to appear on the ballot, from 1500 to 500.[1]
Since the composition of the council changed in 1984, to four at-large seats and nine district representatives, no candidate who had run for re-election had lost.[1] However, two incumbents—Anthony Crayton and David Scondras—were defeated by challengers in this election.
