Can early voters change their choices? Maine modifies its policy on re-voting

AUGUSTA — The Maine Secretary of State's Office has revised its policy on early or absentee voters who want to change their votes, in response to legal questioning Monday by the campaign of independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler.

But the policy crafted Monday, to allow an early voter to "re-vote" if they claim their first ballot did not reflect their true intent, was not communicated to municipal clerks, said Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap.

"We have not been able to get any word out to the clerks because they are all busy doing their work right now," Dunlap said late Monday.
