On May 12, the Maine Joint State and Local Government Committee passed LD 874. It would change the state Constitution, to allow the voters to elect the Attorney General, Secretary of State, and Treasurer. Currently the only statewide state office chosen by the voters is Governor.
If the legislature passes the bill, then the voters would vote on the idea in November 2022.
Did the proposal specify the voting method to be used?

Many sections copied from 1780 Mass Const in 1820
— crisis olde band-aid – 1820 MO compromise – ME free – MO slave.
1820-1860 – time barely enough for north to mass biz and free pop to defeat slavers in 1861-1865.
Remember the 20th Maine at Little Round Top 2 July 1863 – Gettysburg, PA.
@WZ,
Same method as used for electing legislators.
Demo rep, city executives are usually nonpartisan, yet it’s widely known what party they line up with. Keeping party labels off the ballot does not change much.
NONPARTISAN execs goes with TOTAL SOP.
You Missed the point.
