Ballot questions
Nine ballot questions were on the ballot. The Massachusetts legislature had until May to either implement the proposals, reach a compromise with organizers, or do nothing, allowing organizers to gather more signatures to officially place the measures on the ballot. They did not take action on any of the measures. Legislative leaders raised concerns about the number of ballot measures, which they claimed are often crafted by special interest groups. One question was a veto referendum to repeal firearms regulations passed in 2024.
Topics of certified questions included creation of a new nature conservation fund to be funded by sales tax revenue, a proposal to place gubernatorial and legislative records under the state's public records law, implementation of same-day voter registration, a proposal to allow Committee for Public Counsel Services (a board which oversees the state's public defender system) employees to form a union, a new limit to how much the state can collect in tax revenue, a limit on lot size requirements to allow for single-family homes to be built on more plots of land, a proposal to implement nonpartisan primaries, and a proposal to repeal Massachusetts's law allowing for recreational marijuana use.
