Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow popular election of the Maine State Treasurer.
This resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Maine to change the election process for the State Treasurer. Currently, the Treasurer is elected by the Legislature. The amendment would allow the Treasurer to be elected by popular vote, similar to Senators and Representatives, starting in 2026. The amendment would require a statewide referendum for ratification, with the question being whether to amend the Constitution to allow popular election of the Treasurer. If approved, the Secretary of State would prepare ballots for the election, and the Governor would review the returns.
