Democratic  Republican
 
A political party is a group of people who have similar ideas about how the country should be run. We have a two political party system; Democratic and Republican. A Democracy is the type of government for the people and by the people. A Republican is a characteristic of a republic. A republic is a nation ruled by officers and representatives elected by the people.

Dukes County Voter Questions

We thought that you might be interested in knowing about the kinds of issues that voters on Martha's Vineyard and in  Massachusetts vote on. You could take your opinions home with you and share them with your family. Political discussions are great dinner talk!

State Income Tax

A YES VOTE would reduce the state personal income tax rate to 2.65%  for the tax year beginning on January 1, 2009, and would eliminate the tax for all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state income tax laws.

Possession of Marijuana

A YES VOTE would replace the criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties.
A NO VOTE would make no change in state criminal laws concerning possession of marijuana.

Dog Racing

A YES VOTE would prohibit dog racing on which betting or wagering occurs, effective on January 1, 2010
A NO VOTE would make non changes in the laws governing dog racing
