Q3 All-party (top-two) state primaries

A referendum on an existing state law that increased regulation of firearms, including ghost guns, machine guns and assault-style weapons. A yes vote keeps the law; a no vote repeals it.

When will results be official?
Cities and towns report unofficial results on election night. The state certifies results weeks later. This tracker labels every result as unofficial or certified.
How we build this tracker: candidate lists come from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, results from the state’s certified election statistics, federal money from the Federal Election Commission, and legislative incumbents from the Legislature’s member lists. We do not publish polling averages, rankings or predictions of who will win. Spot an error? See our corrections policy.
