2024 Referendum Questions
This year, in addition to local elections, Maine voters will cast their votes on
five separate statewide referendums. An overview of the five questions from the State of Maine can be found on the State’s website here, along with the State’s detailed Maine Citizen’s Guide to the Referendum Election (PDF).
Question 4, the Maine Trails Bond, is particularly important to us. Trails are a critical resource for getting Mainers into nature, but many of them are poorly maintained or badly built. If passed, the Maine Trails Bond would the bond would inject $30 million toward the design, development, and maintenance of non-motorized, motorized, and multi-use trails statewide. We urge you to vote YES on Question 4. Read more on our website here.
We hope that you find this information useful, and that everyone eligible to vote can do so safely and efficiently.
