I know zero about this, but here is a start for you:

From http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/53-48.htm :

" ... All certificates of nomination and nomination papers of candidates for the office of state representative, state senator, executive council, or county office shall be filed with the state secretary on or before the last Tuesday in May of the year in which a state election is to be held... "

And from http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/53-6.htm :

" ... Nominations of candidates for any offices to be filled at a state election may be made by nomination papers, stating the facts required by section eight and signed in the aggregate by not less than the following number of voters: for governor and lieutenant governor, attorney general, United States senator, and presidential electors, ten thousand; ... for state senator, three hundred; for state representative, one hundred and fifty ... "

Also, the Secretary of State has an excellent website at http://www.state.ma.us/sec/index.htm.

Happy hunting!
