What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 8, explained

Title: What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 8, explained
Runtime: 0:44
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: Article II of the Maine Constitution establishes the qualifications for voting in state and local elections, including residency and being at least 18 years old. It also includes a prohibition on people “under guardianship for reasons of mental illness.” Question 8 seeks to remove that prohibition — for the third time.

In 1997 and 2000, the Legislature advanced constitutional amendments that would have removed the guardianship restriction, but voters defeated it both times. The following year voting rights advocates challenged the prohibition, arguing that it disenfranchises people with mental illness and assumes they’re unable to make voting decisions. A U.S. District Court judge in 2001 ruled in the advocates’ favor, saying that the prohibition violates the due process and equal protection clauses in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

State lawmakers subsequently removed the restriction from its election code. However, it remains in the C...

Title: What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 7, explained
Runtime: 0:48
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: The Maine Constitution currently requires that all people circulating petitions for citizens initiatives and people’s veto initiatives are Maine residents and registered voters. Ballot campaigns have ways around these requirements, but a conservative political action committee challenged them, and a U.S. District Court judge ruled in 2021 that the requirements were a violation of the First Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. The First Circuit Court later affirmed that ruling.

Question 7 effectively aligns Maine’s Constitution with that decision by eliminating the residency and voter registration restrictions on petition circulators.

Question 7 asks Maine voters: “Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to remove a provision requiring a circulator of a citizen’s initiative or people’s veto petition to be a resident of Maine and a registered voter in Maine, requirements that have been ruled unconstitutional in federal court?”

Title: What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 5, explained
Runtime: 0:58
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: Under the Maine Constitution, staff for the Elections Division has an allotted amount of time to perform this verification work once campaigns begin turning in petitions. That’s what Question 5 seeks to change.

At its core, Question 5 is designed to give state election officials more time to make sure citizen-initiated proposals have legitimately qualified for the ballot.

Question 5 asks Maine voters: "Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to change the time period for judicial review of the validity of written petitions from within 100 days from the date of filing to within 100 business days from the date of filing of a written petition in the office of the Secretary of State, with an exception for petitions filed within 30 calendar days before or after a general election?"

Title: What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 2, explained
Runtime: 0:57
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: Question 2 aims to close a loophole in state law that currently allows companies and organizations owned by foreign governments to spend money to influence voters on state referendums. In doing so, it taps two populist sentiments about U.S. elections: first, that money plays an outsize role in determining outcomes, and second, that entities controlled by foreign governments should not be allowed to influence voters.

If voters approve Question 2 in November, Maine will join an emerging trend of states and localities seeking to curb foreign electioneering in campaigns while also seeking to overhaul a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that has unleashed a wave of unfettered corporate spending on elections.

Question 2 asks Maine voters: “Do you want to ban foreign governments and entities that they own, control, or influence from making campaign contributions or financing communications for or against candidates or ballot questions?”

What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 6, explained

Title: What's on Maine's 2023 ballot? Question 6, explained
Runtime: 0:59
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: On the surface, Question 6 on November’s ballot simply asks whether voters support requiring “that all of the provisions of the (Maine) Constitution be included in the official printed copies” distributed by the state. That’s because, since 1876, printed copies of Maine’s Constitution have omitted three sections of the original document, including one pertaining to Maine’s treaty obligations toward the Wabanaki tribes.

Sparse historical evidence has led to a robust debate about whether the omission was merely a clerical effort to “clean up” Maine’s founding document or, as supporters suggest, an attempt to obfuscate the state’s responsibilities toward Wabanaki communities.

Question 6 asks Maine voters: “Do you favor amending the Constitution of Maine to require that all of the provisions of the Constitution be included in the official printed copies of the Constitution prepared by the Secretary of State?”

Description: Ocean water looks clear, but don't let that fool you. Inside just a small drop of water are thousands of plankton and other microscopic organisms.

Researchers at the Bigelow Lab for Ocean Sciences have been studying these organisms, specifically phytoplankton and prokaryoplankton, to determine what roles they play in the ecology of the Gulf of Maine and the planet as a whole.

Baby seals are released back into the Gulf of Maine | Borealis

Title: Baby seals are released back into the Gulf of Maine | Borealis
Runtime: 8:54
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: Every Spring, the facilities at Marine Mammals of Maine (MMoME) welcome dozens of rescued baby seals. The staff and volunteers know that not every baby seal will make it back into the wild, but that doesn't stop the team from giving each pup careful and compassionate care.

Founded by Lynda Doughty in 2011, MoMME feeds, cleans and attends to the seals all day and sometimes throughout the night. To do this work takes a lot of dedication, but for those involved, the effort is well worth it when they get to see the baby seals return to the wild.

In this Borealis video, take a closer look at MMoME's work and learn about the efforts that have been taken to conserve the seal population in Maine.

How many loons are in Maine? This annual count keeps track | Borealis

Title: How many loons are in Maine? This annual count keeps track | Borealis
Runtime: 5:48
Date posted: 3 years ago
Description: For one day each summer, over the course of just 30 minutes, thousands of volunteers head out on lakes across Maine to count one of our state's most iconic animals: the common loon. For the Bessey family, the loon count has been a family tradition for four generations.

Citizen scientists like the Bessey family help the Maine Audubon to track conservation efforts - and it looks like they're paying off. Since the count started in 1983, loon populations in Maine have been on the rise.

Join the Bessey family on the water and experience this year's loon count up close in our latest Borealis video!
