AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine lawmakers are considering a proposal to allow eligible residents to register to vote online.

The proposal by Democratic Rep. Teresa Pierce of Falmouth would implement online voter registration between now and 2023. Pierce introduced the proposal on Monday.

Pierce’s proposal would mean registration would be available via a secure online registration portal.

Supporters of the measure said 40 states and Washington, D.C. have implemented online voter registration systems.
