Question 7: Single-Family Housing Zoning
A YES vote would allow single-family homes to be built on lots of 5,000 square feet or more in residential areas, subject to reasonable local regulation of certain aspects of those homes. A NO vote would make no change to the law relative to building single-family homes.

How to read this
- Ballot question committees report to OCPF, the state’s campaign finance office. OCPF lists which committees are for (YES) and against (NO) each question.
- “Spent on this question” is OCPF’s figure. When one committee works on more than one question, OCPF splits its general spending between them.
- “Raised” is the committee’s total for the two years, including goods and services given in place of money (in-kind). A committee working on several questions raises one pot of money, so it is listed under each of its questions.
- Top donors are organizations only, added up across the committees on that side, with names spelled as the committees reported them. MassVoter does not show the names of individual donors.
- MassVoter updates these numbers every night from OCPF. Last update: October 12, 2026.
These numbers describe the money; they are not a grade. Raising more or less is neither good nor bad. MassVoter does not connect donations to votes or positions.
