Resolution, Proposing An Amendment To The Constitution Of Maine To Specify The Qualifications Of Electors In State And Local Elections

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to require U.S. citizenship for voting in Maine state and local elections. It would amend the Maine Constitution to explicitly state that only U.S. citizens may vote in elections for governor, state legislators, county officials, and municipal positions. The amendment must be approved by voters in a referendum held during the November election following the bill's passage, with a specific question asking whether to permit only U.S. citizens to vote in such elections. If approved by a majority, the change would become part of the Maine Constitution.
