Also, Voter ID for ME is a grassroots citizen-led initiative to implement Voter ID in Maine. The Maine legislature has repeatedly refused to strengthen our elections via legislation like Voter ID.

To make the ballot in 2025, signatures would need to be submitted by Jan. 23, 2025, according to the secretary of state’s office.
