Voting Rights and the Integrity of Elections in Maine
The League of Women Voters -Downeast is hosting a panel discussion on voting rights and the integrity of elections in Maine. The event will be held Saturday, September 28th, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Moore Community Center in Ellsworth. Panelists will be Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State, and Lisa Goodwin, Bangor City Clerk.
In recent years, legislators and election officials around the US have implemented strict voter ID laws and other new rules that redefine and restrict the right to vote. Our panel will discuss the current laws on voting rights in Maine, the many checks and balances built into Maine’s election system, and proposed new measures regarding voting and elections.
Please join us to learn more about this important issue. This hybrid event is free to the public, and lunch will be offered to in-person attendees. There will be an opportunity for questions from the live audience, and there will be an opportunity for the Zoom audience to submit their own questions to be presented by the moderator.
