Are these ballot questions in the upcoming general election? I wasn't aware that there were more than the statewide 3. Anywhere I can find the text of these online so I can make an informed decision rather than an ad-hoc one? And presumably there's a question 4. Is there a 7 or 8?

Thanks!

If you go to the Somerville city site, you can get a pdf of your actual ballot. 4 is "bring the troops home now" and there are no 7 or 8. None of 4,5,6 are binding.

Thanks. I'd looked for that before but somehow couldn't find it. Perhaps I was blinded by the completely obvious link on the front page. :)

Ah, looks like questions 4+ are only on the ballots for wards 2-3, 3, 4-3, 5, and 6. I'm over more towards Teele in Ward 7, so I can avoid the issue. :)

Go to http://www.wheredoivotema.com/ , type in your address, click on "Find My Election Information", then click on "My General Election Ballot". You'll get a sample ballot including all binding and non-binding questions.

Since questions 4, 5, and 6 are non-binding, there isn't much text - just a single sentence for each.
