It’s time to celebrate. We just had one of our most successful legislative sessions. Almost all of our priority bills have been signed into law or are sitting on the Governor’s desk waiting to be signed. Thank you to our League artillery who contacted their legislators or who volunteered on our Advocacy Committee.
On Friday, Gov. Janet Mills signed the fourth of four democracy reform and modernization bills into law, making permanent policies that were put into place for the 2020 election and taking additional steps to modernize elections in the state.
Happy early July 4th! We'll celebrate our legislators standing up for their constituents, voting for democracy reform, expanding voting rights, and to put it simply, choosing to do what's right.
Welcome to Summer in Maine — the longest days of the year! Of course, that’s nothing compared to the long days the Legislature pulled last week trying to get through their work load in time to recess, which they did on Thursday.
The Maine House and Senate advanced all four of Maine’s democracy reform bills this week, moving the election modernization package closer to final passage. Each bill now moves on to procedural votes in the House and Senate before heading to Gov. Janet Mills for her signature.
