Maine voters will decide the fate of eight statewide ballot measures in a referendum election Tuesday. Question 2 would ban foreign governments and entities they own, control or influence from making campaign contributions in candidate elections or ballot measures.
FILE-Supporters of “No CMP Corridor” attend a rally after submitting more than 75,000 signatures to election officials at the State Office Building, Feb. 3, 2020, in Augusta, Maine. If voters grant their approval on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, Maine would be the 10th state to close the loophole in federal election law that bans foreign entities from spending on candidate elections, yet allows donations for local and state ballot measures.
Maine does not have automatic recounts, but voters can request one for a statewide ballot question by getting at least 200 registered voters to sign a petition within eight business days after the election. The state will pay for the recount if the margin between the yes and the no votes is 1% or less of the total votes cast, or not more than 1,000 votes, whichever is less.As of November 2022, there were 1.1 million voters registered in Maine.
As of Wednesday, more than 56,000 voters had cast ballots before Election Day, 47% from Democrats, 26% from Republicans and 23% from voters not affiliated with any party. In the 2021 referendum election, 27% of the vote was cast before Election Day.In the 2022 general election, the AP first reported results at 8:08 p.m. ET, or eight minutes after polls closed. The election night tabulation ended at 3:22 a.m. ET with about 83% of total votes counted.
