On May 23, the Maine House passed LD 142. Current law says each qualified party must hold at least one town caucus, each spring of even-numbered years, in every county. The bill relaxes the requirement somewhat, and says a party must hold at least one town caucus in at least 14 of the state’s 16 counties. The Green Independent Party, the only ballot-qualified party besides the Democratic and Republican Parties, had requested this bill.
