All Pennsylvania voters â yes, that includes independents and minor-party members â will be asked to consider four ballot questions on May 18. Two of them are about as non-controversial as possible. The other two? A different story.

Question 1
What would it do? Currently, only Pennsylvaniaâs governor can end a disaster declaration, like the one the state is currently under to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

The legislature can overturn a governorâs veto with support from two-thirds of members.
