AUGUSTA Sen. David Miramant, D-Camden, presented Wednesday a bill to expand the use of Ranked Choice Voting in Maine elections.
LD 202, “Resolution, Proposing an Amendment to the Constitution of Maine To Implement Ranked-choice Voting,” was the subject of a public hearing before the Legislature’s Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs (VLA).
“Here in Maine, we’ve been using ranked-choice voting in many of our elections since 2018,” said Sen. Miramant. “The people of Maine have voted twice in the last five years to show their support for ranked-choice voting in our elections, including for the offices of governor and state legislature. We’ve had a long public education process, and we know that not only does this system work, but it works better than expected.”
