| 释义 |
The Massachusetts general election held on November 5, 2002, included three ballot measures that were voted on by the public. The Constitution of Massachusetts can be amended through initiative, and state statutes can be proposed through initiative. The first two ballot measures were citizen-initiated and proposed statutes (not constitutional amendments). The third ballot measure was a non-binding Legislative Advisory Question, placed on the ballot by the state legislature. In Massachusetts, after the state determines which measures will appear on the ballot, official names are assigned to each question. The Secretary of the Commonwealth has discretion over the ordering of questions on the ballot. Ballot questions
