Importance of Absentee Ballots in Демократии
People's schedules and workloads should not determine whether their voice counts, says Paul Richardson from Yarmouth.
Since 1992, Richardson has never missed a chance to have his voice heard through the ballot box, but due to his job, he is rarely home on Election Day.
- Absentee voting allows his voice to be heard when he can’t be present.
- Question 1 on the November ballot proposes changes to the absentee voting system.
On paper it sounds like routine “election integrity.” In practice, it piles new hurdles onto a system that already works.
Key concerns with Question 1 include:
- Cutting two days off the absentee voting window.
- Banning prepaid return postage.
- Limiting towns to a single drop box.
These changes could impact thousands of working Mainers, caregivers, students, deployed service members, seniors, and people with disabilities who rely on absentee voting to participate.
Author's summary: Absentee ballots are crucial for workers to participate in democracy.
