Resolution, Proposing An Amendment To The Constitution Of Maine To Provide For The Popular Election Of The Secretary Of State And The Attorney General By Ranked-Choice Voting

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Maine's Secretary of State and Attorney General are elected. Currently chosen by the Legislature, these positions would instead be filled through direct popular elections held every two years on the same date as legislative elections, using ranked-choice voting. Voters would rank candidates in order of preference, with tabulation occurring in rounds until one candidate achieves a majority. The amendment requires voter approval in a statewide referendum to take effect.
