Dear John,

The Maine legislature will be considering a bill that would make our elections fairer, possibly as soon as next week. We need your help today to make sure it advances.

This legislation would expand Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) to gubernatorial and state legislative races. Over the past four statewide elections, RCV has given voters more meaningful choices at the ballot – that’s why a majority of Mainers support ranking candidates¹.I’ll be testifying on behalf of MCV at the public hearing and want to show lawmakers just how many Mainers care about this issue. Will you show your support by signing our petition today?

Tell Maine legislators – Expand Ranked Choice Voting!

Next year’s gubernatorial election promises to be a hotly contested affair, and that’s why it’s so important to expand RCV now. All of us – not to mention the lands, waters, and wildlife we hold dear – are at risk when anti-environment politicians can be elected despite being opposed by a majority of voters.

The more opportunity you and other Maine voters have to express preferences for candidates who will champion our climate, environment, and democracy, the better off our state will be. LD 1666 will do just that by expanding RCV to races for governor and the state legislature, just as Maine voters originally intended when they adopted RCV at the ballot in 2016.

Sign the petition!

Please consider signing this petition and tell lawmakers to expand Ranked Choice Voting!
