Ballot questions nixing the MCAS as a high school graduation requirement and granting the state auditor the ability to open up the books of the Legislature advanced towards the November ballot Wednesday.

Secretary of State William Galvin certified that the two questions, and five others, had enough signatures from Massachusetts voters to clear the 74,574 threshold and move on to the Legislature, which now has the option to act on each proposal.

Three additional ballot questions related to the relationship between app-based drivers and network companies are expected to head to the Legislature later in January after Galvin’s staff finishes certifying signatures, though two different versions were cleared Wednesday.

In an email to members slated to go out later Wednesday, Massachusetts Teachers Association President Max Page and Vice President Deb McCarthy said they first received word of Galvin certifying the MCAS question’s 101,511 signatures on Dec. 22.

“This means we exceeded the requirement for certification by more than 25,000 signatures. The public is with us in wanting to end the destructive test-and-punish system, and instead focus on real teaching and learning,” the duo wrote in the letter.

Campaigns looking to give app-based drivers the right to form a union, granting minimum wage for tipped workers with tips on top, and decriminalizing psychedelics for mental health treatment also cleared the signature threshold.

Any question sent to the Legislature must be heard by the committer to which it is referred and a report issued. Legislative action on a proposal must occur before the first Wednesday in May, according to Galvin’s office.

A question cannot be amended by Beacon Hill lawmakers. The ballot question becomes law if the Legislature passes it and the governor signs it, or the lawmakers overturn a veto with a two-third vote.

If the Legislature rejects a proposal or does not act on it by the first Wednesday in May, campaigns can gather an additional 12,429 certified signatures to force the measure onto the November ballot, according to Galvin’s office.
