According to the City Clerk's office, 13,358 out of 38,961 registered voters in Medford participated in the election. That represents a voter turnout of 34.29 percent.
In 2017, when Burke was elected to her second term over David McKillop, 11,432 ballots were cast out of 37,835 registered voters – a turnout of 30.2 percent. That mayoral election was decided by a difference of more than 2,500.

The 2015 election saw the highest turnout over the past four municipal elections at 38.9 percent. Burke was elected mayor over Robert Penta by a margin of 547 votes. However, Medford has gained more than 3,000 new registered voters since 2015.
