Guide to Local Government in Maine
We're pleased to share our nonpartisan resource to empower Mainers to get involved in their local government. We encourage you to view the guide in a web browser (optimally Chrome or Microsoft Edge). Alongside the guide, we are sharing a spreadsheet that we have compiled of municipalities across Maine and their forms of government for reference.

Election Event Planning
This training was created by members of the Portland Area local League chapter. It covers how to organize and conduct election events, such as candidate and issue forums.
Ranked Choice Voting Toolkit
Everyone should feel empowered to bring change to their community. And for those who want to give voters more choice — and more voice — we've published a RCV Toolkit that covers the steps for implementing RCV in your town. We're here to help expand RCV across Maine for municipal elections.
