2026 Ballot Question Reminder

LWVMA will issue positions on the November 2026 Ballot Questions in early 2026, after the initial signature threshold deadline of December 3. 

Members are welcome to take action as individuals until then. Local Leagues may not take action as a League, including but not limited to, endorsements, outreach, or other forms of volunteerism, until the LWVMA board has determined positions on the ballot questions.

The exception to this timeline is the ballot question to repeal the recently-passed gun law, which is already on the ballot. LWVMA will participate in the Vote Yes for a Safe Massachusetts campaign to defeat the Massachusetts Firearm Regulations Referendum (2026). This is a veto referendum that will be on the November 2026 ballot to repeal An Act Modernizing Firearms Laws; Chapter 135 of MA General Laws. LWVMA supported the passage of this law during the previous legislative session. A YES vote upholds the law as is. A NO vote repeals the law. Learn more and take action via the campaign website. LWVMA is a member of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, a 100+ member organization working to eradicate all forms of gun violence from the Commonwealth.
