Massachusetts Initiative To Roll Back Marijuana Legalization Officially Qualifies For November Ballot
“This is what we’re fighting against right here”
Massachusetts officials have formally certified that an initiative to roll back that state’s marijuana legalization law will appear on the November ballot.
The Elections Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s Office on Thursday informed organizers that they had turned in enough valid signatures during a second round of petitioning to put the measure before voters—but just barely.
Under state law, Massachusetts ballot campaigns must turn in signatures in two waves. After the first submission, the legislature gets a chance to enact proposed ballot measures after organizers submit an initial round of petitions. Lawmakers in May declined to act on the anti-marijuana measure, however, and so organizers needed to submit additional 12,429 certified signatures by July 1 to make the November ballot.
