Massachusetts voters will decide nine ballot questions this fall, including whether to prohibit retail sale of recreational marijuana use, expand the public records law, provide more frequent tax refunds, boost single-family “starter homes” and more. Join a lunch and learn conversation with Evan Horowitz, Executive Director of Tisch College’s Center for State Policy Analysis (cSPA), as he shares key takeaways and analysis from cSPA's 2026 ballot guides and answers your questions. Learn more about what's on the ballot this November and how it could impact you before you cast your vote.  

cSPA (pronounced "sea-spa") provides rigorous, timely, non-partisan research on live policy issues in Massachusetts. Learn more about cSPA's 2026 ballot guides. 

 

This event is part of the 2026 Civic Life Lunch series, Everyday Democracy: Explore. Engage. Empower., a program dedicated to examining the functioning of democracy in everyday life and the role of participation in shaping civic outcomes.
