Resolution, Proposing An Amendment To The Constitution Of Maine To Require A Statewide Popular Election Of The Secretary Of State, The Treasurer Of State And The Attorney General For 4-Year Terms

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Maine voters elect three state officials. Starting in 2032, the Secretary of State, Treasurer of State, and Attorney General would be chosen by statewide popular vote every four years - on the same date and in the same manner as voting for state legislators. Currently, these positions are selected by joint vote of the state legislature. If approved by voters, this change would shift direct election authority from lawmakers to Maine residents for these executive roles.
