Democracy Forum -- Ballot Questions: Whose Initiatives Are They?

Friday, April 21, 2023
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM

LWV-Downeast hosts a monthly radio program on democracy in cooperation with WERU FM. 

This month, we'll talk about the citizen initiative process in Maine: the sheer number of initiatives, the money behind them, their strengths and shortcomings, home-grown vs. "from away." How does the initiative process work, and how is it working for Maine? Can ordinary citizens still run a ballot question?

Special Guests:

This show will be pre-recorded; no listener calls will be taken. Comments and questions may be emailed to news@weru.org with Democracy Forum on the subject line. Learn more here.
