Five seats (the four at-large members, and district 9) had also been contested in the preliminary election held on September 27, 2005.
Councillors Michael F. Flaherty, Felix D. Arroyo, and Stephen J. Murphy were re-elected, while the seat formerly held by Maura Hennigan was won by Sam Yoon.
Hennigan did not seek re-election, as she ran for Mayor of Boston; she was defeated by incumbent Thomas Menino in the general election.
Scapicchio resigned his seat effective April 30, 2006, in order to join a private lobbying firm.
† write-in votes Councillor Robert Consalvo ran unopposed and was re-elected.
