Letter from the Maine Secretary of State
Dear Fellow Citizen,
The information in this booklet is intended to help voters learn about the questions that
will appear on the November 4, 2025 Referendum Election ballot. Referendum
elections are an important part of public participation in Maine.
Inside this booklet, you will find:
- the referendum questions;
- the legislation each question represents;
- a summary of the intent and content of the legislation;
- an explanation of the significance of a “yes” or “no” vote;
- an estimate of the fiscal impact of each referendum question on state revenues, appropriations and allocations; and
- public comments filed in support of or in opposition to each ballot measure.
For information about how and where to vote, please contact your local Municipal Clerk or call Maine’s Division of Elections at 207-624-7650. Information is also available online at www.maine.gov/sos.
The Department of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and the Office of Fiscal and Program Review have worked together to prepare this booklet of information, and we hope you find it helpful.
Sincerely,
Shenna Bellows
Secretary of State
