Massachusetts Voters Decide Nine Ballot Questions
Massachusetts voters considered nine ballot questions in the November 3, 2026, election, the largest number in more than three decades. The measures addressed a broad range of state policies and rules for elections and government.
The questions covered public records, collective bargaining for CPCS employees, eliminating political party primaries and same-day voter registration. Other measures concerned a state revenue limit and rebate, the Natural Resource Conservation Fund and single-family homes.
The final two questions focused on repealing the state’s 2016 marijuana law and on gun laws. The available election-results page listed the nine questions, but its results fields displayed loading messages rather than vote totals or outcomes.
Nine Massachusetts Ballot Questions Put Policy Choices Before Voters

Other questions dealt with collective bargaining for CPCS employees, a state revenue limit and rebate, conservation funding and single-family homes. Voters also considered repealing the 2016 marijuana law and a question on gun laws.
The breadth of the ballot made this election a direct test of voters’ views on state policy. The results page listed all nine questions, but the available fields showed loading messages instead of vote totals or outcomes.
Massachusetts Ballot Puts Government Rules and Tax Limits to Voters
Massachusetts voters were asked to decide nine ballot questions on November 3, the highest number in more than three decades. The lineup included proposals involving public records, party primaries, same-day voter registration and collective bargaining for CPCS employees.
Voters also considered a state revenue limit and rebate, conservation funding, single-family homes, repeal of the 2016 marijuana law and gun laws. The questions put government rules and major policy choices directly on the ballot.
The results page listed each measure, but its fields were still displaying loading messages rather than vote totals or outcomes. The available information therefore identifies what voters considered, not which proposals passed.
