First RCV Presidential Vote Will be in Maine


First Ranked-Choice-voting (RCV) Pesidential Vote will be in Maine this November, State's Top Court Decides.

Maine Doesn’t have Early In-Person Voting, but you can Vote Absentee-in-Person at your Clerk's Office:

Maine's All Absentee In-Person Early Voting: Oct 5th - Oct 30th.

Candidates:

Joe Binden (Democratic)
Donald J. Trump (Republican)
Roque Rocky De La fuente (Alliance)
Jo Jorgensen (Libertarian)
Howie Hawkins (Green)

Voters in Maine will be allowed to List their Candidates in order of Preference, and its Four Electoral Votes will only be Awarded to those who get a Majority's Support. Maine Awards Two Electoral Votes based on the Statewide Vote, and One Vote for each Congressional District.

The Ruling is a huge Symbolic Victory for Advocates of RCV, who view this type of voting as a Formula for Improving Democracy by Reducing the Major Parties' Influence, Encouraging more Consensus-Building Campaigns, Promoting the Prospects of Outsiders, and Guaranteeing Winners can claim a Mandate because they have been Endorsed by Most Voters.
