An Act To Change The State'S Method Of Allocating Electoral Votes From A Congressional District Method To A Winner-Take-All Method Contingent On The State Of Nebraska Changing Its Method Of Allocating Electoral Votes

LD 1356 would change Maine's method for allocating presidential electors from a congressional district system (where electoral votes are distributed by district and two are allocated statewide) to a winner-take-all system (where the statewide popular vote winner receives all of Maine's electoral votes). This change would only take effect if Nebraska modifies its electoral vote allocation to award at least three of its five electoral votes on an at-large basis. The bill amends Maine law to require electors to cast ballots for the statewide popular vote winner under this new system. Maine's current district-based allocation method would remain unchanged until Nebraska implements a similar modification to its electoral process.
