Massachusetts voters will decide nine binding statewide questions, the most ever placed on a Massachusetts ballot, according to the official 2026 voter guide.
Question 1: Public Records. A yes vote would place most records held by the governor's office and Legislature under the state Public Records Law. A no vote would leave the current law unchanged.
Question 2: Public Defender Employees. A yes vote would specify that Committee for Public Counsel Services employees may unionize and collectively bargain. A no vote would leave the current labor law unchanged.
Question 3: State Primaries. A yes vote would replace party primaries for state offices with a single all-party primary, with the top two candidates advancing to the general election. A no vote would retain separate party primaries. Patch examined the proposal here.
Question 4: Election Day Registration. A yes vote would allow eligible residents to register or update their addresses at their polling places on Election Day beginning in 2028. A no vote would retain the advance registration deadline.
Question 5: State Revenue Limit. A yes vote would change the state revenue cap by linking it to the previous year's collections and average wage growth, with excess revenue returned to taxpayers. A no vote would leave the current system unchanged.
Question 6: Nature For All Fund. A yes vote would create a conservation fund supported by portions of the taxes collected from sporting goods, recreational vehicles and golf-course use. A no vote would leave those tax revenues allocated under current law.
Question 7: Single-Family Housing. A yes vote would generally allow single-family homes on residential lots of at least 5,000 square feet that meet frontage, water and sewer requirements. Municipalities could still regulate features including height, parking and setbacks. A no vote would make no change. Read Patch's closer look at Question 7.
Question 8: Recreational Marijuana Sales. A yes vote would repeal the legal, regulated retail market for recreational marijuana while continuing to allow limited adult possession. A no vote would preserve the current marijuana law. Read Patch's closer look at Question 8.
Question 9: Firearms Law. A yes vote would keep the state's 2024 firearms law in place, including provisions covering ghost guns, assault-style weapons and extreme-risk protection orders. A no vote would repeal the law. Read Patch's closer look at Question 9.
