Every two years, Massachusetts voters may be called upon to vote whether or not to enact new laws, amend the Constitution, or repeal recently passed laws through ballot questions. Ballot questions have been around since the formation of the Commonwealth, but the process for allowing citizens to initiate laws, amendments, and repeals has only been in effect for the past 100 years.

In 2026, nine questions will be on the November 3 State Election ballot.

• Question 1: Expanding the Public Records Law
• Question 2: Collective Bargaining for CPCS Employees
• Question 3: State Primary Elections
• Question 4: Election Day Registration
• Question 5: State Revenue Limit & Rebate
• Question 6: Natural Resource Conservation Fund
• Question 7: Single Family Homes
• Question 8: Prohibit Retail Sale of Adult Recreational Use Marijuana
• Question 9: Firearms Regulation
