More than 40 proposed ballot questions in Massachusetts cleared an initial deadline on Wednesday evening to potentially appear before voters in the 2026 general election.

The initiative petitions cover a wide range of topics, including voter identification requirements and same-day registration on Election Day, a repeal of the MBTA Communities Law, tax cuts and self-driving cars.
