^ Until 1857, a majority of votes at a town meeting was needed to elect a representative to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. If no person received a majority of votes, no representative was sent. After electing Cheever in 1817 and 1818, Saugus was unable to select a representative in 1819. Cheever was returned to office in 1820 and 1821. [5]
