Elections for the Massachusetts Governor's Council will be held on November 7, 2006, with all 8 of the seats up for election. The Governor's Council (also known as the Executive Council) of Massachusetts is a popularly-elected board which oversees judicial nominations. The councillors are elected every two years from eight councillor districts across the commonwealth and the Lt. Governor serves ex officio.

The 2006 Massachusetts Gubernatorial election is scheduled for the same date as the Council election, as well as other State and Federal elections.
