Massachusetts statewide ballot question

Massachusetts statewide ballot questions are proposals that voters decide on directly during elections. They often involve changes to laws or the state constitution, such as policies on taxes, healthcare, or social issues. Voters read the questions, which are explained on the ballot, and then vote “yes” to approve or “no” to reject each measure. If approved, the question becomes law or constitutional amendment. These questions give the public a direct voice in shaping state policies, supplementing the work of the legislature.
