Ranked choice vote petition two thirds finished

Ballot Access - Maine supporters of ranked-choice voting believe they are two-thirds finished collecting enough signatures to put ranked-choice voting on the 2018 primary ballot. The voters already passed an initiative for ranked-choice voting in 2016, but in 2017 the legislature virtually repealed it. The current petition, if it gets 61,123 valid signatures, will suspend the legislature’s action, at least until there is another vote of the people. The petition deadline is February 2.
