Should Question 5 pass, Maine would lead the nation by adopting this improved system of voting. Ranked-choice voting will improve upon the way Maine citizens now vote.
Adopting ranked-choice voting promises to strengthen the democratic process, improve the tenor of election races and help the prospects of independent candidates outside of the two major parties.
In these days of polarized politics, ranked-choice voting, where it has already been instituted, has developed a track record of more civil political campaigns and greater inclusiveness. Please vote “yes” on Question 5.
