A proposal to convert Massachusetts’s state primary elections to “all-party primaries” is inching closer to appearing on the November ballot.

State officials certified four petitions to advance toward the 2026 ballot, including a public records measure and proposals on pay, labor and taxes.

If the Legislature chooses not to pass a proposed law by May 5, organizers can collect additional signatures to place the question on the ballot in November.

Massachusetts Representative Ayanna Pressley says she will not be running for the Senate seat in 2026. The primary race, as of now, consists of two other current Massachusetts congressmen: moderate Democrat Congressman Seth Moulton and progressive Senator Ed Markey, who is seeking re-election.

Massachusetts election officials have scheduled a hearing to investigate a complaint challenging the signature gathering process for a proposed ballot initiative to roll back the state’s marijuana law.
