On Tuesday, Maine voters rejected Question 1, a Republican-backed measure primarily about voter ID, that, if approved, would have restricted absentee voting and ballot access and disenfranchised eligible voters.

NEWS CENTER Maine spoke with Secretary of State Shenna Bellows about what voters should know before heading to the polls.

“Once again, Maine people have affirmed their faith in our free, fair, and secure elections, in this case by rejecting a direct attempt to restrict voting rights. Maine has long had one of the highest rates of voter turnout in the nation, in good part due to safe absentee voting — and Maine people tonight have said they want to keep it that way."

Question 1 would require Mainers to present a valid state ID or driver’s license to vote, limit the number of "drop" boxes for ballots and restrict the state's absentee mail balloting process.

Maine voters on Tuesday rejected a ballot measure that would significantly change how the state administers its elections. The measure would have required photo ID for all forms of voting and shortens the absentee voting period by two days.
