Massachusetts voters will cast ballots in races for president, US Senate and the commonwealth’s nine US House seats. Democrats are favored to win every contest, according to ratings from the Cook Political Report.
Voters will also decide on two key ballot measures: one that would end sub-minimum wage for tipped workers and one that would allow adults to grow, possess and use some naturally occurring psychedelic substances.

Note: Race and ethnicity shares are based on the Citizen Voting Age Population (CVAP) from the Census Bureau ACS 5-year estimates, 2018-2022. Median household incomes are based on inflation-adjusted data from January to December 2023; educational attainment shares are for the population 25 years and over, both based on the 2023 Census ACS 1-year estimates. Regional price parity for housing is calculated by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and represents how much more (above 100) or less (less than 100) expensive housing rent expenditures are in a state compared to the national average in 2022, the latest available year. The three largest occupations per state are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics release of Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics in 2023, the latest available data.
