Massachusetts voters weighed in on nine ballot questions in the 2026 election – the most in more than three decades.
The questions ranged from eliminating political party primaries to reversing marijuana legalization to repealing a gun reform law in the state.
After two days of counting votes in a close race, voters eventually rejected Question 5, which would have set a state revenue limit.
It took three days to declare a winner in the closest race. Question 7, which would have allowed for smaller lots sizes for building single-family homes, was rejected by a slim margin of just 1.2%.
Here are the latest results via CBS News and the Associated Press:
