Massachusetts

YES: supports making records held by the state legislature and the governor's office public records, except for documents showing officials working out their position on an issue and messages with constituents who asked for help with a government agency.

NO: opposes this initiative, maintaining the current status quo of all documents held by the state legislature and the governor's office being exempt from this requirement.

YES: supports letting CPCS workers unionize and negotiate pay, benefits, and working conditions, and requiring CPCS to request funding from the governor within 30 days of signing a collective bargaining contract.

NO: opposes this initiative, maintaining the current status quo that CPCS workers are not allowed to unionize.

YES: supports replacing party primaries for state elections with one primary ballot listing every candidate regardless of party, where the top two vote-getters advance to the general election.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping separate party primaries for state elections, where each party picks its own nominee for the general election.

YES: supports letting voters register and vote on the same day, instead of registering 10 days before an election.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping the status quo of requiring voters to register to vote 10 days before an election.

YES: supports counting "millionaires tax" revenue toward the state's yearly tax revenue cap and starting the cap's formula from last year's actual collections, making automatic taxpayer refunds more likely.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping the current formula, which leaves "millionaires tax" revenue out of the count and starts from last year's cap.

YES: supports creating the Nature for All Fund for nature conservation, paid for with 50% of the tax revenue from sporting goods, recreational vehicles, and golf courses before July 1, 2028, and 100% after that date.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping that tax revenue where it goes today, with no dedicated conservation fund.

YES: supports requiring towns to allow single-family homes on lots as small as 5,000 square feet, as long as the lot has 50 feet of street frontage and public water and sewer.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping local zoning rules that can require much larger lots (half an acre to two acres in much of the state).

YES: supports ending recreational marijuana sales and home growing, while letting adults 21 and older possess up to one ounce without penalty (and up to two ounces with civil penalties only) and making possession of up to two ounces a civil offense for anyone under 21.

NO: opposes this initiative, keeping recreational marijuana sales (and their regulation and taxation) and home growing legal.

YES: supports upholding this law (which has been in place for two years), keeping the electronic firearm registration system, the assault-style firearm ban, safety certificates for permits, required serial numbers, school administrators' and healthcare providers' power to request Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and courts' power to order firearm surrender with Harassment Prevention Orders.

NO: immediately repeals this law, not undoing punishments that have already happened but preventing enforcement going forward
