Video Summary
AI GeneratedVoters in Massachusetts are heading to the polls to cast ballots for key races and a record nine statewide ballot questions. High turnout has been reported at locations like the Longmeadow Community House, with significant lines and steady voter flow throughout the day.
And as we've been covering, voters
across Massachusetts are heading to the
polls, but not only weighing in on the key races,
but also the nine statewide
ballot questions. 22 News reporter Sarah
Benamay joins us live in Long Meadow,
where voters have been showing up throughout the day and Sarah seeing
some people there behind you.
Clarence Criti, it is still a steady flow
of voters here at the Longmeadow Community House.
There's even a line wrapped around the building.
From a packed parking lot to long lines at certain precincts,
election workers tell me the voting booths have been busy all day.
By 1 p.m., more than 1,800 votes were cast at this location.
I'll get updated numbers for the next half hour.
Now, beyond the candidates, Massachusetts voters
are also deciding on nine ballot questions,
the most to appear on a state ballot since the process began in 1918.
The last time there were nine was back in 1994.
Here's a breakdown of ballot.
Questions four, five and six.
Question four would allow people to register to vote on election day
instead of the current registration cutoff 10 days before the election.
Question five would change the limit on how much revenue
the state can collect while factoring in revenue collected
from the state's fair share tax on incomes over $1 million.
Then question six would allocate funding from taxes collected
on sporting goods to protecting water and nature
and what would be called the Nature for All Fund.
I spoke with a woman who has this message for lawmakers after voting.
I want them to pay attention to how we vote and what we say we want,
how we want things to go.
And I hope they'll listen to us. I think they will.
Lyman also says she has exercised her right to vote for many years
and wasn't going to stop today.
She also says she wants to get the country back to how it used to be.
Now in the next half hour, I'll break down
the rest of the ballot questions.
Polls, on the other hand, will remain open until 8 tonight.
