Establishes the popular election of the State Auditor in Maine starting in 2028.

This bill amends the Maine Revised Statutes to change the method of selecting the State Auditor. Currently, the State Auditor is appointed by the Legislature. Beginning in 2028, the State Auditor will be elected by the people of Maine in the same manner as the Governor. This change aims to increase transparency and accountability in the selection process for the State Auditor role.
