Background:
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.
On May 5, the office of the Secretary of State released finalized language for the referendum as it will appear on the November ballot. The question reads:
“Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?”
