## Resource

Massachusetts voters face a historic ballot this November with nine major questions—tied for the most ever—ranging from rent control and tax cuts to voting rights, public defenders, and even cannabis legalization. Two proposals were struck down by the Supreme Judicial Court over flawed paperwork, but the remaining issues pack a serious punch: changing primaries, protecting natural resources, building starter homes, rewriting the tax cap, and even repealing gun control laws. With Election Day looming, voters are in for a deep democracy workout—and the results could reshape the state’s future.
