Proposing a constitutional amendment to elect the Secretary of State by popular vote biennially in Maine.
This resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Maine to change the election process for the Secretary of State. Currently, the Secretary of State is chosen by the Legislature, but this resolution would change it so that the Secretary of State is elected by popular vote every two years, on the same date and in the same manner as Senators and Representatives. The amendment would be put to a vote in a statewide election in November following the passage of this resolution.
