The Maine House voted in support of two democracy bills Tuesday aimed at modernizing and improving the state’s absentee voting process. The bills now head to the Senate for initial approval.

The League of Women Voters of Maine reported that through 8:00 PM on Election Day, polling across the state has successfully concluded. For the first time, Portland residents used multi-winner ranked-choice voting to rank their preferred candidates for the four at-large Charter Commissioners.

Tuesday, June 8 is Election Day. We've collected voter info for Bar Harbor, Dover-Foxcroft, Durham, Ellsworth, Falmouth, Freeport, Portland, Pownal, and Yarmouth. By visiting Vote411.org, you can see what's on the ballot, find your polling place, and much more! 

On Tuesday, June 8, many towns across Maine will hold their local elections. Just as we did in November 2020, we'll send out observers to watch democracy in action. If you have a few hours available on Election Day, you can be part of our nonpartisan Observer Corps. We'll train you! 

The rest of our priority bills are unchanged from last week. Quite a few other bills got killed during the floor session last Wednesday. The Legislature is planning to reconvene on June 2 and 3, every day the week after, and a few more days the week after that.
