Lincoln voters made a clean sweep for Democrats on the Nov. 3 ballot. On the ballot questions, a majority said yes to:
- Expanding public records (Question 1)
- Collective bargaining for CPCS employees (Question 2)
- Same-day voter registration (Question 4)
- Creating a Natural Resource Conservation Fund (Question 6)
- Reducing control over state legislators’ stipends (Question 10 — 13th Middlesex, nonbinding)
They said no to:
- Open primaries (Question 3)
- State revenue limit and rebate (Question 5)
- Reduce minimum lot sizes for single-family homes (Question 7)
- Repealing recreational marijuana (Question 8)
- Repealing gun law (Question 9)
Lincoln’s results matched those of voters statewide except (maybe) for Question 7. Lincolnites voted not to reduce minimum lot sizes for single-family homes by a tally of 2,056 to 1,248 (62% to 38%). But as of early Wednesday morning, a slim majority of Massachusetts residents approved the measure by a margin of 51% to 49% with about half the ballots counted, according to CBS News.
