LD266

Maine LD266 mandates annual signature updates for voter registration starting January 1, 2026.

Maine LD266 requires the annual review of voter signatures by municipal registrars starting January 1, 2026. The bill mandates that voter signatures are valid for years from the time they were last updated. Each year, registrars must notify voters whose signatures expire and provide them with a form to update their signatures. The updated signatures must then be entered into the central voter registration system. This process ensures that voter signatures remain current and valid.
