**Strong bipartisan opposition from party leadership and elected officials has shaped trader expectations that Massachusetts voters will reject the top-two primary initiative on the November 2026 ballot.** Both the Massachusetts Democratic Party and Republican-aligned groups have endorsed a “no” vote, citing concerns that an all-party primary would weaken party organizations, reduce voter choice in the general election, and favor candidates with greater access to large donors over grassroots campaigns. A coalition of 27 state lawmakers and local officials publicly backed the opposition effort in late August. While the measure cleared legal hurdles in June and secured ballot placement as Question 3, limited endorsements from sitting officeholders and the absence of broad polling momentum have reinforced the market’s 68.5% probability on “no.”
