BOSTON — Plans to implement ranked-choice voting, prevent Massachusetts from declaring itself a “sanctuary state” and require gun owners to store their weapons in safes are among a dozen proposed referendums inching toward the 2020 ballot.
On Wednesday, Attorney General Maura Healey certified a dozen proposed initiatives filed by individuals and groups seeking voter approval for changes in state law.
Ranked choice voting
Among them is a proposal to switch from the state’s current, winner-take-all election system to a ranked-choice method in which voters may list candidates by order of preference.
