Maine Legislators Sign Non-Citizens Voting Pledge

“I sponsored LD186 in the legislature. LD186 added one sentence to the Maine constitution,” Faulkingham said of an act he put forward last year.

That one sentence would have removed municipalities’ ability to allow noncitizen to vote.

“One Mainer’s vote being negated by a person that is not supposed to be voting in this state is one vote taken away too many,” said Representative Joel Stetkis of Canaan. He was also in support of LD186.

That act put forward by Faulkingham last year was passed unanimously in the Senate but died in the House.
