ME voters reject takeover of state’s leading electric companies, foreign government spending

Maine voters turned down an attempt to oust the state’s corporate-owned electric utilities among several ballot initiatives Tuesday, and approved one to stop foreign spending in referendums. Voters also decided to restore language about honoring obligations to Native American tribes to printed versions of the state constitution. The off-year election saw consistent participation despite a lack of statewide offices on the ballot, the secretary of state's office said.

Voters decided to restore long-removed language about Maine’s obligations to Native American tribes to the printed versions of its constitution. Maine inherited the treaties from Massachusetts when it became its own state more than 200 years ago. The language still applies, but it was removed from the printed constitution in the 19th century.

Mainers approved a 'right to repair' initiative designed to allow vehicle owners and independent repair shops access to on-board diagnostic systems in vehicles. Massachusetts voters approved a right to repair proposal of their own in 2020. That proposal provided vehicle owners and independent repair shops with more access to mechanical data related to maintenance and repairs.
