Here is what you should know about 3 ballot measures in this year’s election

Hispanic young man is seen intently casting his vote in a U.S. election. The voting booth is adorned with an American flag and the word "VOTE” democracy, voting rights, and electoral participation.

If you haven’t voted yet, and want to know more about tax referendums, here is a quick review.

The first measure is a statewide homestead exemption. That would help homeowners not get taxed out of their houses as it lowers the property tax based on inflation only.

The second measure replaces a tribunal style court with a full-fledged tax court, instead of adding cases to the already busy Superior Court.

The third measure is geared toward business owners, who would get a break with personal property exemptions according to State Representative Mike Cheokas.

“It would raise that exemption from $7,500 to $20,000,” Cheokas said.
