Early voting begins in Maine: Here's what you need to know about the two referendum questions
QUESTION 1: “Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?”
QUESTION 2: “Do you want to allow courts to temporarily prohibit a person from having dangerous weapons if law enforcement, family, or household members show that the person poses a significant danger of causing physical injury to themselves or others?”
Voting "yes" on Question 1 will implement the changes detailed in the question. Voting no will block the changes to Maine's voting process........
The second referendum question proposes the passing or rejection of red flag laws in Maine.
The process of separating someone who may be a danger to themselves and others from their firearms can only be initiated by law enforcement under the current yellow flag law. The law requires a combined medical and legal process.
