Massachusetts voters weighed in on five ballot questions that could affect everyone from high school students to drivers.

Here you will see the results as they come in.

Jeff Saperstone takes a closer look at the five initiatives surrounding this year’s Massachusetts vote.

Mass Vote Question 1 – control of the legislature

Question 1 concerns whether the investigative powers of the office of state auditor should be expanded to include oversight of the legislature. It emerged from an effort led by current State Auditor Diana DiZoglio, who campaigned on the issue and continues to push the measure.

If passed, it would subject a number of legislative activities to an audit, including compliance with employee training rules, cybersecurity standards and purchasing activities. The accountant would still not have the power to investigate votes, debates, communications, assignments and policies.

Of the five ballot initiatives in Massachusetts, Question 1 asks voters whether the state auditor should have the power to audit the legislature.

Mass Vote Question 2 — MCAS as a graduation requirement

Question 2 concerns removing the 10th grade MCAS exam as a graduation requirement for high school students. Currently, public high school students must complete degree requirements and receive a “competency determination” in order to graduate. The most common way to achieve this is by passing the 10th grade MCAS exams.

If they pass, students are still required to take 10th grade MCAS, but are no longer required to earn a passing score or other state approval. Instead, districts would set their own criteria for graduation, making Massachusetts one of the few states without a common graduation standard.

Should MCAS be ended as a graduation requirement in Massachusetts or should it remain as is? Voters will decide in the 2024 election. Follow NBC10 Boston: https://instagram.com/nbc10boston https://tiktok.com/@nbc10boston https://facebook.com/NBC10Boston https://twitter.com/ NBC10Boston

Mass Ballot Question 3 – Taxi Drivers Union

Question 3 concerns whether ride-sharing drivers – such as those who work for Uber or Lyft – should be able to unionize. If passed, it would allow for sector-based bargaining, meaning executives from multiple companies could bargain together for better wages, expanded benefits and other protections that would apply across the industry.

The law in question would determine how many liquor licenses can be held under one name.

Mass Vote Question 4 – Legalization of Psychedelic Substances

Question 4 concerns the legalization of certain psychedelic substances, which are increasingly used in clinical research to treat mental health. If passed, the law could allow a group of naturally occurring psychedelic drugs (psilocybin, psilocyn, mescaline, DMT and ibogaine) to be grown, shared, used at home and offered by licensed professionals in a more clinical setting. It would not making psychedelics available for purchase in stores. Adults should grow their own psychedelic therapy, find someone willing to share their supply, or use it at a certified psychedelic therapy center.

Ballot Question 4 will see Massachusetts voters decide whether to legalize and regulate certain psychedelic drugs. Proponents say the hallucinogens have shown promise in research for people battling issues like opioid use disorder and mental illness, but opponents worry it could be dangerous.

Mass Ballot Question 5 – Minimum Wage for Employees

Question 5 concerns a change in the way tipped employees are paid. Currently, minimum wage laws vary for waitstaff, bartenders, manicurists, and other types of tipped workers. Tipped workers are guaranteed the full minimum wage ($15/hour), but employers can pay them as little as $6.75 per hour, provided tips make up the difference.

If the proposal passes, restaurants would be allowed to split or split tips with chefs, accountants and others who don’t interact directly with customers. This is not allowed under the current rules. The wait staff could still get a tip.

Should Tipped Employees Be Paid a Minimum Wage in Massachusetts? It’s on the agenda for the 2024 elections, and we dug into the issue to see who is in favor and against voting question 5.
