Maine Legislature Retracts Ranked Choice Voting Bill from Governor’s Desk

On June 26, the legislature recalled LD 1666 from Governor Janet Mills’ desk. The bill had been passed and sent to the Governor earlier. It is very unusual for a legislature to pass a bill but then take it back off the Governor’s desk. The bill will now continue to survive, because Maine has a two-year legislative session. But it won’t move until next year.

The bill expands ranked choice voting to include state office in general elections. Maine already has RCV for primaries for state office, as well as primaries and general elections for federal office.

  2. I hope this goes back to the governor. Thus far, Maine has been a good role model for the rest of us on election reform.

  3. RCV is a fraud. It is anti-democratic and falsely claims to result in a majority winner which it often does not.

  4. Bob and Bill are correct.
