The bill pending in the Maine legislature to assist write-in candidates has a hearing on March 20 in the Joint Committee for Legal & Veterans Affairs. The bill would require that the names of declared write-in candidates be posted at the polls. It would also delete the requirement that the write-in must include not only the name of the candidate, but the name of that candidate’s town of residence. And it would require that the votes for declared write-in candidates be included in the official state election returns.
