Upcoming Elections

November 5, 2013 – Potential Referendum Election

Referendum Elections are held to provide Maine’s citizens an opportunity to vote on People’s Veto Referenda, Direct Initiatives of Legislation (i.e. Citizen Initiatives), Bond Issues, other referenda proposed by the Legislature, and Constitutional Amendments.  Referendum elections are an important part of the heritage of public participation in Maine.

There is no regularly scheduled statewide Referendum Election for 2013.  The State will hold a Referendum Election in 2013 only under the following circumstances:

• If the 126th Legislature votes to send any bond issues, Constitutional amendments or referenda to the ballot, then an election will be proclaimed, or
• If any citizen-initiated legislation is submitted to the Secretary of State by January 24, 2013. No initatives were submitted for the 2013 ballot.

Please check this website toward the end of the First Regular Session of the 126th Legislature for information on whether the Legislature has voted to send any ballot measures to a statewide vote in 2013.
