I am an elected official in the City of Biddeford — Maine’s 8th largest city. This evening I proposed an amendment to our city charter to change municipal elections to Saturdays. Should the voters uphold this change in November — Biddeford will be the first city in Maine to hold its municipal elections on Saturdays! I read an article on CNN about “Why Tuesday?” and it led me to propose the change. This is a huge step in the right direction for Maine and its voting day.
This is one of the greatest e-mails we’ve ever gotten, from Ryan Fecteau in Biddeford, Maine. Re-printed with his permission. Here’s the CNN article Ryan references.
