The Maine Department of the Secretary of State will host its ranked-choice run-off for the 2nd Congressional District race Tuesday afternoon. The tabulation will start at 1 p.m. at the Maine State Police headquarters in Augusta.
Election officials say a ranked-choice voting tabulation aimed at determining the winner of a key congressional race in Maine starts in the coming week
The Maine 2nd Congressional District race between incumbent Democrat Rep. Jared Golden and Republican challenger Austin Theriault is heading to a ranked-choice tabulation.
The thin margin came in an election in which Republican Donald Trump won the 2nd District, allowing him to collect one of Maine’s four electoral votes. Maine is one of two states that split electoral votes.
Under Maine law, it all depends on when the when they were placed there. Under the current law, temporary signs can be placed in a public right-of-way for up to six weeks from January 1st to June 30th. And another six weeks between July 1st and the end of the year.
