Maine Bill to Allow Independent Voters to Vote in Primaries Finally Passes

On April 25, the Maine legislature passed LD 231, the bill to let independent voters choose a partisan primary ballot. This bill had passed the legislature in the spring of 2021, but then it had been placed on the Appropriations Table, which is a peculiar device used in Maine that prevents final passage of a bill until there is funding authority for it.

So, after almost a year, the recent action sends the bill to Governor Janet Mills, who is expected to sign it. Thanks to Open Primaries for this news.
