For the first time since 2006, Massachusetts will have a new governor from the results of today's elections.

The gubernatorial race includes Democrat and current state Attorney General Martha Coakley, Republican businessman and 2010 GOP gubernatorial nominee Charlie Baker and former attorney and business executive Evan Falchuk, who will run under the United Independent Party.

The race for Attorney General will be between Democrat and Assistant Attorney General Maura Healy and Republican Attorney John Miller.

Other contested races on the ballot include incumbent Democrat Bill Keating against Republican John Chapman for the ninth district seat in the U.S House of Representatives.

Incumbent Democrat Marc Pacheco will run against Republican David Rosa for a seat in the state Senate.

On Nov. 4, voters will also have the opportunity to vote on four ballot questions. Below is a brief guide to the four questions.

Question 1: Gas tax

Last year, legislators voted to link the price residents pay on the gasoline tax to the rate of inflation. The change automatically increases the tax each year without lawmakers having to vote on it. The question would rescind that automatic increase, not the gas tax itself.

Voting YES eliminates the requirement that the tax be adjusted annually. That means the gas tax will not change unless lawmakers vote for an increase.

Voting NO means the law remains as written.

Question 2: Expanding drinks deposits

Most soda and beer containers sold in Massachusetts include a 5-cent redemption deposit. Question backers want to expand the deposit law to include additional drinks.

Voting YES expands the state’s beverage container deposit law to require deposits on all non-alcoholic, non-carbonated drinks with a few exceptions.

Voting NO would make no changes to the law.

Question 3: Prohibiting casinos

Legislators voted to allow three casinos and one slots parlor to operate within the state in 2011. This citizen-backed ballot question seeks to repeal that law.

Voting YES prohibits casinos, gaming establishments with slot machines and wagering on simulcast greyhound racing.

Voting NO makes no changes to the current gaming laws.

Question 4: Earned sick time

This question would require most employers to offer sick days, dependent upon on how many hours an employee works. For every 30 hours worked, an employee would receive one hour of time off. Only businesses with 11 or more employees would be affected.

Voting YES allows most employees to earn and use sick time.

Voting NO leaves the decision up to employers and would not change the law.
