Unique Website Gives Complete, Concise Maine Legislative Information

Maine Votes gives users instant access to concise, plain language and objective descriptions of every single bill, amendment, and vote that takes place in the Maine legislature. Unlike any other bill tracking utility, MaineVotes.org is unique because all legislative actions are described - not just those selected by a particular interest group. It is searchable by legislator, keyword, subject categories, or a combination of these, so users can create their own custom "voting record guide."

MaineVotes.org has all these features:

Maine Votes is a free public service of The Maine Heritage Policy Center, an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational institution. Its purpose is to inform citizens, community leaders, business people, media, and public officials about legislation that affects their families, schools, jobs and communities. The site empowers citizens to take a more active part in the democratic process, and hold their elected representatives accountable.
