An Act To Provide Funds Necessary For The Production And Delivery Of Election Materials By The Secretary Of State And To Reconvene The Working Group To Study Polling Places At Schools

This bill creates a dedicated fund within Maine's Secretary of State's office to cover the costs of producing and delivering election materials like ballots and voter guides. It mandates an annual $266,000 transfer from the General Fund (adjusting for inflation every two years) to support these materials, with unused funds carried forward annually. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of State to reconvene a 9-member working group - including education officials, school association representatives, and advocates - to study using school buildings as polling places. The group must examine security, accessibility, and best practices across states, then submit recommendations by December 15, 2025.
