Next Tuesday, American voters will face a lot of important questions. Should marijuana be legal? Should legalized gambling be expanded? And should Montana’s state auditor, who does not audit the state, instead be called the “Commissioner of Securities and Insurance”?

Voters will decide 147 statewide questions in all, ranging from the profound to the mundane. Here are a few key themes to watch for on election night.

Minimum wage: The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Four states (Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota) will consider proposals to raise it, to levels ranging from $8 to $9.75. Illinois will vote on a nonbinding advisory question about whether the minimum wage should be $10. Michigan voters, however, will not vote on a minimum-wage increase because lawmakers there enacted one in May, under pressure from groups collecting signatures to pass a larger increase by initiative.

Drugs and alcohol: Colorado and Washington legalized recreational marijuana by ballot initiative in 2012; this year, Alaska, the District of Columbia and Oregon will consider doing the same. Florida will vote on legalizing marijuana for medical use. Arkansas will consider a proposal to legalize alcohol sales statewide; currently, about half the state’s counties are dry.
