Our Charter Commission Voter Guide!

_{^{Read up on the candidates, and learn more about our endorsees!}}

This has been an exciting year already for Maine politics, and it just keeps getting better. While you don't have any ballot initiatives or referendums to vote on this June, you get to choose the faces behind the policy-making for our City! So scope out the guide, and read up on Candidates for the Portland Charter Commission.

In order to receive League endorsement, candidates and issues needed to win a simple majority using an Instant Runoff Voting ballot. Our multi-partisan Elections Committee then spends up to 8 hours a week researching and interviewing candidates. Committed League members who have racked up a minimum of 8 hours of volunteer time are then allowed to vote on their favorite candidates. We are focused and committed to ensuring that our endorsed candidates have the skills and background necessary for elected office and would be excellent advocates for issues affecting young people.
