On Tuesday, November 5, Maine voters will vote on five statewide ballot questions. Question 1 relates to money in politics and proposes to limit contributions to PACs, or Political Action Committees.

Maine is so close to expanding Clean Elections to races for District Attorney. The bill LD 1966 was just voted to be enacted in the Senate and now heads to the Governor.

The election cycle is here, and that means it's another year for candidates to participate in Maine's Clean Elections!

While you're filling out your tax return forms, you can do something quick and easy to help boost Clean Elections. 

This year, Maine has an exciting opportunity to expand Clean Elections to races for District Attorney.

Mainers are also showing that our elections can belong to the people. As we head into a presidential election that will undoubtedly break all spending records, it’s more important than ever that we champion alternatives like Clean Elections.

Election Day results have proven that Mainers care about issues surrounding money in politics.

In just a few days, Maine voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, November 7. We want to remind you that Maine Citizens for Clean Elections endorses YES on Question 2.

In addition to the 8 statewide ballot questions, the Portland ballot will feature municipal elections, plus three other measures that voters will choose whether or not to approve.

What is the Portland Clean Elections system? And how do I know which candidates are participating?

Of the $33.7 million spent so far this cycle, MCCE estimates that $28 million was spent by foreign government-owned entities — that’s 83%. The numbers are appalling.

Question 2 on the November 7 ballot will ask voters if they want to ban foreign governments from spending in Maine’s elections. MCCE officially endorses Question 2 and sees it as one way to limit political spending.
