Joint Order, To Recall From The Governor'S Desk To The Senate L.D. 1666, An Act To Include In The Ranked-Choice Election Method For General And Special Elections The Offices Of Governor, State Senator And State Representative And To Make Other Related Changes
SP 797 is a procedural joint order recalling Bill L.D. 1666 from the Governor's desk to the Senate. This routine legislative step enables the Senate to reconsider L.D. 1666, which proposes to expand Maine's ranked-choice voting system to include elections for Governor, State Senator, and State Representative. The order itself does not change election rules but facilitates further review of the substantive bill.
