Overview

What did Question 4 do?

See also: Text of measure

Question 4 was a veto referendum on House Bill 4805 (H 4805). H 4805 repealed the provision of state law that says, "No license of any type may be issued to any person who does not have lawful presence in the United States."

The proposed law prohibited registrars from inquiring about an applicant’s citizenship or immigration status when applying for a driver's license or motor vehicle registration. It also authorized registrars to accept certain documents to verify the identity and date of birth of an applicant. H 4805 required one of the documents to be either a valid unexpired foreign passport or a valid unexpired Consular Identification document. The bill required the second document to be a valid unexpired driver’s license from any U.S. state or territory, an original or certified copy of a birth certificate, a valid unexpired foreign national identification card, a valid unexpired foreign driver’s license, or a marriage certificate or divorce decree issued by any state or territory of the United States. Any information or communication provided by an applicant to the registrar of motor vehicles, including not providing proof of lawful presence, would not be considered public record nor be disclosed by the registrar, except as required by federal law.

The law was designed to take effect on July 1, 2023.

At the time of the election, 17 states—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington—and Washington, D.C., had enacted laws authorizing the issuance of driver's licenses to immigrants who cannot provide proof of lawful or authorized presence. The documents required to obtain a driver's license varied by state but included a foreign birth certificate, foreign passport, or consular card along with evidence of current residency in the state.

Who was behind the campaigns in favor of a 'yes' or 'no' vote?

Yes on 4 led the campaign in support of a 'yes' vote on Question 4. The campaign received endorsements from ACLU of Massachusetts and SEIU of Massachusetts. Elizabeth Sweet, executive director of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy (MIRA) Coalition, said, "The Work and Family Mobility Act makes our communities safer, builds trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities, and benefits our economy. Members of the diverse and united Driving Families Forward coalition have fought tirelessly for nearly 20 years to allow individuals to apply for driver's licenses regardless of immigration status, and we will continue to fight for this reform as long as it takes."

Fair and Secure Massachusetts led the campaign in support of a 'no' vote on Question 4. The committee collected over 100,000 signatures to place the veto referendum on the ballot. It received endorsements from Gov. Charles D. Baker (R), Gubernatorial Candidate Geoff Diehl (R), and State Representatives Colleen Garry (D) and Marc Lombardo (R). Maureen Maloney, one of the sponsors of the veto referendum, said, "I do not think that we should be rewarding people for being in the country illegally. I think the RMV [Registry of Motor Vehicles] is not equipped to properly vet people coming to the United States from over 100 different countries."

Text of measure

Ballot question

The ballot question was as follows:

“

Do you approve of a law summarized below, which was approved by the House of Representatives and the Senate on May 26, 2022?

”

Ballot summary

The ballot summary was as follows:

“

This law allows Massachusetts residents who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in the United States to obtain a standard driver’s license or learner’s permit if they meet all the other qualifications for a standard license or learner’s permit, including a road test and insurance, and provide proof of their identity, date of birth, and residency. The law provides that, when processing an application for such a license or learner’s permit or motor vehicle registration, the registrar of motor vehicles may not ask about or create a record of the citizenship or immigration status of the applicant, except as otherwise required by law. This law does not allow people who cannot provide proof of lawful presence in the United States to obtain a REAL ID. To prove identity and date of birth, the law requires an applicant to present at least two documents, one from each of the following categories: (1) a valid unexpired foreign passport or a valid unexpired Consular Identification document; and (2) a valid unexpired driver’s license from any United States state or territory, an original or certified copy of a birth certificate, a valid unexpired foreign national identification card, a valid unexpired foreign driver’s license, or a marriage certificate or divorce decree issued by any state or territory of the United States. One of the documents presented by an applicant must include a photograph and one must include a date of birth. Any documents not in English must be accompanied by a certified translation. The registrar may review any documents issued by another country to determine whether they may be used as proof of identity or date of birth. The law requires that applicants for a driver’s license or learner’s permit shall attest, under the pains and penalties of perjury, that their license has not been suspended or revoked in any other state, country, or jurisdiction. The law specifies that information provided by or relating to any applicant or license-holder will not be a public record and shall not be disclosed, except as required by federal law or as authorized by Attorney General regulations, and except for purposes of motor vehicle insurance. The law directs the registrar of motor vehicles to make regulations regarding the documents required of United States citizens and others who provide proof of lawful presence with their license application. The law also requires the registrar and the Secretary of the Commonwealth to establish procedures and regulations to ensure that an applicant for a standard driver’s license or learner’s permit who does not provide proof of lawful presence will not be automatically registered to vote. The law takes effect on July 1, 2023.

Arguments

• Elizabeth Sweet, executive director of the MIRA Coalition: "The Work and Family Mobility Act makes our communities safer, builds trust between law enforcement and immigrant communities, and benefits our economy. Members of the diverse and united Driving Families Forward coalition have fought tirelessly for nearly 20 years to allow individuals to apply for driver's licenses regardless of immigration status, and we will continue to fight for this reform as long as it takes."
• Yes on 4 campaign: "Voting #YESon4 ensures that immigrants, no matter their status, can legally make essential trips like dropping their children off at school and getting to work, medical appointments, or the grocery store."
• Sara Weinberger, a columnist for the Daily Hampshire Gazette: "Unfortunately, collectively punishing all undocumented people in Massachusetts by taking away their ability to obtain a driver’s license will only leave the door open for more fatalities, leaving Massachusetts less 'fair and secure.'"

Official arguments

The following is the argument in support of Question 4 found in the Official Voter Information Guide:

Official Voter Information Guide: A YES vote will keep in place a law that allows all drivers in Massachusetts to be properly vetted for licenses (by providing proof of identity, date of birth, and residency), pass required tests and buy insurance, regardless of immigration status. A YES vote means safer roads and better tools for law enforcement to do their jobs. In 17 states with similar laws, passage led to declines in uninsured drivers and hit-and-run crashes. That’s why this measure is endorsed by over 60 law enforcement officials statewide—including most sheriffs, district attorneys, and all 42 police chiefs in the Massachusetts Major Cities Chief of Police Association. Voting YES helps families and workers by ensuring they can drive legally to school and work. It makes sense for all of us. That is what Massachusetts law provides and a YES vote will keep in place. ---Franklin Soults, Yes on 4 for Safer Roads

Official arguments

The following is the argument in opposition to Question 4 found in the Official Voter Information Guide:

Official Voter Information Guide: In his veto message of this bill, Governor Charlie Baker made it known that the Registry of Motor Vehicles does not have the capability or expertise necessary to verify documents from other countries and notes that, if this bill becomes law, Massachusetts drivers’ licenses will no longer confirm that a person is who they say they are. Additionally, Governor Baker states the bill specifically restricts the Registry’s ability to share citizenship information with entities responsible for ensuring only citizens register to vote and vote in our elections, significantly increasing the likelihood that noncitizens will register to vote. This bill is patently unfair to those who have taken the time to immigrate to our great country via legal means and significantly diminishes the public safety of all residents of the Commonwealth. We urge a no vote on this issue. ---John Milligan, Fair and Secure Massachusetts

Support

• The Berkshire Eagle Editorial Board: "Everyone in our communities deserves the increased safety that comes with knowing more motorists on our roads are trained, licensed and able to be insured. And while Massachusetts is not the first state to pass such a law, ours is actually the strictest with regard to the documentation required to prove identity and residence in order to receive a license. We should keep it. The Eagle endorses a yes vote on Question 4."
• The Harvard Crimson Editorial Board: "“Non-qualified” immigrants — including undocumented immigrants — generally cannot receive food stamps, sign up for Medicaid, or enjoy most other federal public benefit programs. Contrary to the narrative propagated by Fair and Safe Massachusetts, granting undocumented immigrants the legal right to drive constitutes a small, measured, and exceedingly practical improvement to this patchwork of restrictions. We cannot give in to fear unfounded in fact. On question four, that means voting yes."

Background

Democratic-controlled General Court overrides Gov. Charles Baker's (R) veto of bill regarding driver's license and vehicle registration applications

On June 9, 2022, the Massachusetts General Court overrode Gov. Charles D. Baker’s (R) veto of House Bill 4805 (H 4805). H 4805 prohibited registrars from inquiring about an applicant’s citizenship or immigration status when applying for driver's licenses and motor vehicle registrations. In lieu of citizenship or immigration information, the bill allowed registrars to accept two documents that prove the date of birth and identity of the applicant, including foreign passports, birth certificates, or consular identification documents.

Proponents said that H 4805 would increase road safety, reduce hit-and-run accidents, and help families without the required citizenship or immigration information. Speaking in support, the bill's sponsor, Sen. Adam Gomez (D), said:

“

Allowing parents to drive their kids to school, take them to doctor's appointments or be in charge of carpooling to take their kids to soccer, all without the concern they may be separated if they are pulled over, will allow children of undocumented immigrants to breathe and have a sigh of relief.

”

Opponents of the bill said, under H 4805, it would be difficult for the Registry of Motor Vehicles to verify foreign documents and that the bill would permit noncitizens to vote. In his veto message, Baker said:

“

A standard Massachusetts driver’s license will no longer confirm that a person is who they say they are … [and the bill] restricts the Registry’s ability to share citizenship information with those entities responsible for ensuring that only citizens register for and vote in our elections.

”

Baker vetoed H 4805 on May 27, 2022. Massachusetts requires a two-thirds majority in the General Court to override a veto. At the time of the override vote, Democrats held such a majority.

In the Senate, the override passed by a 32-8 margin, with 32 Democrats voting to override and five Democrats joining all three Republicans to sustain Baker’s veto. The House voted 119-36 to override the veto, with eight Democrats joining all 28 Republicans to sustain the veto.

States issuing driver's licenses to immigrants who cannot provide proof of lawful presence

As of September 2022, 17 states and Washington, D.C. had enacted laws authorizing the issuance of driver's licenses to immigrants who cannot provide proof of lawful or authorized presence. The documents required to obtain a driver's license vary by state but range from a foreign birth certificate, foreign passport, or consular card, and evidence of current residency in the state. Those states that have adopted this policy are highlighted in blue below:

Oregon Alternative Driver Licenses Referendum, Measure 88 (2014)

See also: Oregon Alternative Driver Licenses Referendum, Measure 88 (2014)

Ballotpedia identified one other veto referendum on a law proposing to grant driver's licenses to immigrants who cannot provide proof of lawful presence. In 2014, Oregon voters voted to repeal SB 833, which would have made four-year driver's licenses available to those who cannot prove lawful presence. The vote margin was 66% to repeal the law, and 34% to uphold the law. In 2019, the Oregon State Legislature adopted a similar law that is still in effect.

Path to the ballot

See also: Laws governing the referendum process in Maryland

The state process

In Massachusetts, the number of signatures required to qualify a veto referendum for the ballot is equal to 1.5 percent of the total votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. If the petitioners submit a written request for the suspension of the targeted law prior to the referendum election, signatures equal to 2 percent of the total votes last cast for governor are required to both suspend the law and force an election. No more than one-quarter of the certified signatures on initiative or referendum petitions may come from any one county. Signatures for a veto referendum petition must be submitted no more than 90 days after the governor signs the targeted bill or it is enacted into law.

The requirements to get a veto referendum certified for the 2022 ballot:

• Signatures (without suspending): 40,120 valid signatures
• Signatures (with suspending): 53,492 valid signatures
• Deadline: Depends on the date of enactment for the targeted bill

If the 1.5 percent threshold is met, the targeted law is not suspended, but it is put before voters at the next general election to be upheld or rejected. If a petition seeks to suspend the targeted law and reaches the 2 percent threshold, the targeted law is suspended until the next general election, at which voters decide whether to approve the bill or reject it.

Details about this initiative

• On June 13, 2022, Maureen Maloney and Kevin Dube filed the referendum with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance to create the Fair And Secure Massachusetts committee.
• On June 27, 2022, the referendum was cleared for signature gathering. The campaign has until August 24, 2022, to file signatures.
• On September 7, 2022, nearly 80,000 of the 100,000 signatures filed with local clerks were verified and submitted to the secretary of state.
• On September 9, 2022, the secretary of state announced that the campaign had submitted 71,883 valid signatures qualifying the referendum for the ballot.

Cost per required signature

Sponsors of the measure hired Antonio Molle and Sadie Webb to collect signatures for the petition to qualify this measure for the ballot. A total of $3,350.00 was spent to collect the 40,120 valid signatures required to put this measure before voters, resulting in a total cost per required signature (CPRS) of $0.08.

Residency requirements

To register to vote in Massachusetts, you must be a resident of the state. State law does not specify a length of time for which you must have been a resident to be eligible.

Verification of citizenship

See also: Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States

Massachusetts does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration. An individual must attest that they are a U.S. citizen when registering to vote. According to the state's voter registration application, the penalty for an illegal registration is a "fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years or both."

All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment. Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.

Verifying your registration

The Elections and Voting page, run by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.

Voter ID requirements

Massachusetts does not require voters to present identification (ID) while voting, in most cases.

However, voters will be asked to show ID in the following circumstances:

“

You are voting for the first time in Massachusetts in a federal election; You are an inactive voter; You are casting a provisional or challenged ballot; The poll worker has a reasonable suspicion that leads them to request identification.
