Campaign Status: Active

The Policy

A package of reforms that ensures Maine elections are safe, secure, and modern

Background

Maine has long been at the forefront of making elections more accessible and giving voters a greater say in government. In 2023 alone, Maine eliminated foreign influence in their elections and passed an ongoing absentee voter list.
