Boston will be able to skip special elections and proceed directly to September's non-partisan primary and November's final contest, officials on Beacon Hill and at City Hall have told GBH News.

“They clearly will show deference to the voters of Boston in this case, I believe,” Secretary of State Bill Galvin said earlier this week.
