Supporters of Ranked-Choice Voting (RCV) in Maine have collected more than the required 61,123 Valid Signatures to force a Referendum Vote in November 2018 on the 2017 Bill that Repealed RCV.
As a result, Maine will use RCV for its June 2018 Primaries for All Federal and State Offices, and Federal Office in November.
When a Referendum Petition gets enough Valid Signatures, the Bill that the Legislature had passed is Suspended until the Public Votes on the Law.
Because the Voters passed RCV in 2016, and no Court has invalidated it for Primaries, or for Federal Office, it is the law, at least until the Public Votes on the 2017 Bill that repealed RCV.
The Deadline for the Petition is February 4th, but it was completed before the Deadline.
