On November 4, Mainers will vote on two different ballot questions. The League of Women Voters of Maine is committed to providing information to voters so that they feel confident when they vote.

Question 1 and 2 are Citizen’s Initiatives. These reach the ballot through a process of signature collection. When enough Maine voters sign the petition, the question goes on the ballot for a statewide vote.

Question 1 is a citizen’s initiative. It will ask if voters want to enact over 27 changes to Maine’s election laws, including changing popular aspects of absentee voting, stripping away ongoing absentee voting, restricting the use of dropboxes, and implementing photo ID in order to vote. Vote NO on Question 1 on Tuesday, November 4.

Question 2 is a citizen’s initiative led by the Maine Gun Safety Coalition. It is an “Extreme Risk Protection Order,” or ERPO, initiative that would permit family members to seek a court order to remove firearms if another family member is a risk to themselves or others.
