On Nov. 6, Massachusetts voters will be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on three ballot questions.
Massachusetts is one of only a handful of states on the East Coast where citizens have the right to make or change state laws at the ballot box. Experts say ballot questions can be some of the most complex choices citizens have to make.
WGBH News set out to make it as easy as possible to understand the questions and their consequences. For each question, we put together a one-page voter guide to answer the most important questions about each measure. We’ve also published stories and conversations with the pro and con campaigns.
View and download the one-page voter guides for all three ballot questions:
