In 2024, a citizen’s initiative campaign known as “Voter ID for ME,” collected signatures for regressive and restrictive changes to Maine’s voting laws. The Secretary of State’s office has since certified enough of those signatures, and the referendum question is now poised to be on the ballot on Election Day in November 2025. You can read the full draft proposal here.
This ballot measure is about so much more than just Voter ID. If it passes, many Mainers will see their access to the ballot box unfairly restricted.
This measure isn’t right for Maine. We all want our elections to be as secure as possible. Instead of making it harder for Maine citizens to vote and tying the hands of our town clerks, we should focus on giving state and local elections officials the resources they need.
