Elections 2022

In addition to electing congressional and local candidates, ballot initiatives are direct questions to voters. In 2022, there are a number of issues on the ballot:

• Massachusetts Ballot Questions:
  • Question 1 - would establish an additional 4% state income tax on that portion of annual taxable income in excess of $1 million. This would not affect anyone earning less than $1 million per year. 
  • Question 2 - would regulate dental insurance rates, including by requiring companies to spend at least 83% of premiums on member dental expenses and quality improvements instead of administrative expenses, and by making other changes to dental insurance regulations.
  • Question 3 - would increase the number of licenses a retailer could have for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be consumed off premises, limit the number of “all-alcoholic beverages” licenses that a retailer could acquire, restrict use of self-checkout, and require retailers to accept customers’ out-of-state identification.
  • Question 4 - would keep in place a state law which would allow Massachusetts residents who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in the United States to obtain a driver’s license or permit if they meet the other requirements for doing so.
• New Hampshire 2022 Ballot Measures -  There are two items on New Hampshire's ballot in Nov 2022, the "Constitutional Convention" question, and the "Abolish Office of Register of Probate Amendment" question.
